      Pros

      A few nice people, but definitely no one outside of the "inner circle" is allowed in.

      Cons

      Shallow on real strategy/business acumen and very little true expertise at all levels of the organization outside of Sales. The company is rife with junior level folks who seem to rely on Google "how-to's" to run their business. Nice people but very strange culture - no one looks to outside expertise for any guidance and lots of internal phony glad-handing - resulting in a very mediocre, less-than-satisfying employment experience. I learned nothing and believed in no one.

      Pros

      Going from a toxic employer to AHEAD has been the best change for my happiness. Everyone at AHEAD is motivated, positive, and willing to help each other. I no longer dread logging into work, and even enjoy the days where I have to work a bit longer or go the extra mile, because I know it will be appreciated and I can take the time I need in return. Having unlimited PTO you don't get shamed for using is amazing. I've been supported in my efforts and have a lot of autonomy without micromanagement, which is a great feeling. Upper management really trusts you and trusts in the hire.

      Cons

      While being in a high-growth company is exciting, it can also be exhausting. Sometimes you need the "rocket ship" to take a beat, but there is no real lull. More company-wide time off would be helpful so that you can get a break where you don't come back to 50+ emails per day. The only other downside is that due to the fabulous employee retention, people stay in their roles for a looong long time. There are not a lot of opportunities for upward mobility as a result, from what I have seen thus far.
