      Pros

      Fairly talented group of people. Very nice office. Good benefits package. Most departments willing to work with each other.

      Cons

      There is way too much favorite playing. If you play the political game and are friends with management you will be taken care of. If you are not you are considered and treated like an outsider. As much as management has tried to not make it look like this it always pops up. This is large part why we had the turnover in key roles. The sales and the technical organization are also on separate pages most of the time. This was often evident when we went to deliver projects.

      I see that you are no longer at Ahead, so it is difficult for me to know what period of time you were here. Saying that, we have had our ups and our downs over the last eight years. It sounds like you were at Ahead during one of our downs. I believe Ahead is much different today. We are at the top of our game, growing faster than we have ever grown, with a stronger culture than we have ever had. I guess what doesn't kill us does make us stronger. I am sorry that I didn't provide you a better experience when you were here. Best of luck in your career and future.

      Work life balance, people, culture

      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.
