Pros

- Some Great People to Work With - Lots of Overtime - Occasional Free Lunches - Way above average PTO / Sick-Time

Cons

- Upper Management focuses on departments responsible for fixing the symptoms of a problem rather than those responsible for the root cause of major known issues. Continual "firefighting" is leading to a waste of resources which is hurting morale and placing blame on the wrong people. As a result people are loosing their jobs or leaving as in my case. - Misaligned / non-achievable expectations - Impossible to get the work completed with the extremely lax PTO Policy, Workers can miss time without consequence (doctors notes aren't needed for extended time missed). Workers can even no call no show without consequence. - HR micromanages everything rather than focusing on what it should be, it's workers. - For an I.T. company, the onsite I.T. department is non-existent. If there's an issue with hardware or software be prepared to wait while you're unproductive and unable to do your job. - More interested in acquiring or buying other companies to grow their portfolio rather than internally scaling first. - They love their custom software and focus only on adding more and more applications rather than fixing their broken core software.

Pros

Since I've started on 6/1, everyone has been so kind, patient, and helpful

Cons

I really don't have any cons to list given my super short time here.

Pros

I absolutely love working at AHEAD. AHEAD stands out for its collaborative culture, strong talent, and real investment in employee growth. The environment is fast paced and high performing, but still supportive, which makes it a great place to learn from strong teammates and leaders and build your career. What especially sets AHEAD apart is the focus on early career development. Programs like Launch, ASU, and our internship program give people meaningful work, mentorship, and clear opportunities to grow from day one. It feels like a company that truly wants to develop talent, not just hire it.

Cons

I genuinely do not have any cons to share - this is a fast paced environment, you just have to be adaptable to change/pivoting.
