Pros

* Exposure to lots of different technologies. * Flexibility with WFH.

Cons

* Management style feels more reactive than proactive. * No structure around training, very much a do it on your own time if you need it. * Are okay putting consultants in "Fake it till you make it" scenarios where you can be expected to learn the skills you need for projects on the job. * Quicker to hire from outside rather than promote internally. * No technical on-boarding training of any kind. * Support structure for engineers is poor. * No real team spirit and poor and work atmosphere generally seems to be poor among engineers with such high turnover

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.
