Pros

Remote work. Some good people.

Cons

This company lied to the employees while laying off rounds and rounds of people. Each round came with an assurance it was the last, and of course you wouldnt be affected. They had us training people from India to eventually take our jobs, even had us record how-to videos for them to use. It should have all been very clear from the beginning, but when you have the CEO and managers all assuring you that your job wont be affected, you kind of want to believe them. Was assured the people that did get laid off had nice severance packages. Come to find out the severance package was only for two weeks. This company is absolutely scummy. I would stay far away.

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.
