Pros

I get to work with super cutting-edge technologies. We do all kinds of projects, so if there's something in my field that I'm interested in, I can dive into learning it and then request to be on a related project. And I get plenty of support from my teammates, who are all smarter than me in one way or another... which ROCKS! Unbelievable level of talent here.

Cons

Smaller company, so benefits aren't quite as good as a larger company. Overall, I feel that my compensation more than makes up for that though. I would say that this company/role is for professionals who are HUNGRY to improve themselves, who work hard to achieve their goals, and who want to bring their A game every day. If that is who you are, than then AHEAD can absolutely help you accelerate your growth. I read some other reviews that said that things are disorganized, or that there aren't opportunities for growth. My experience so far has been the opposite, but I am used to this sort of work. Project Management and flow here are typical for this sort of work. All my PM's so far have been solid. Access to whatever projects/teammates I need to meet my personal learning goals has been fantastic.

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.
