Pros

AHEAD leadership is open and transparent with their employees and the culture is very friendly and relaxed. It really feels that your coworkers, bosses, and leadership wants you to be there and wants you to enjoy your time at the company. AHEAD is great about showing their employee appreciation as well as enabling growth through dozens of varied career paths developed throughout the company.

Cons

Like most companies, AHEAD has moved to a full/partial remote work structure due to COVID and in turn has lost an edge in its culture. However, leadership is doing all they can to correct this by emphasizing team communications, happy hours, and encouraging trips to the office when/if employees feel safe and healthy.

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.
