Pros

free coffee, chips and snacks.

Cons

This was the worse experience of all. Lack of training and unprofessional behavior at full display by management. You would be promised one thing at hiring and one week after your hire date, it will be arrogantly broken. Overworked and under appreciated employees who are constantly abused and never appreciated. No training at all as employees are asked to go to youtube and learn other technologies. Health Benefits were bad to begin with and got even worse. No 401K match and no pay raise at all for any employee, let it be new or old.

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.
