Pros

I have learned so much since I started working at AHEAD. We truly are what it means to be a team. Every department plays a role in the company's success, and there is never a lack of recognition for your contributions. We simply enjoy helping each other and learning from one another. The executives make you feel important no matter what your role is. The benefits are endless, and I can honestly say that we have a ton of fun. We work hard, but we always set aside time to share stories and laughs.

Cons

We work at a very fast-pace. You must learn quickly and be independent. This prepares you for any challenge that you may face. Personally, I am grateful for all the knowledge and experience that I have gain in such a short time.

Pros

Some strong sales people. Great relationship with one major storage vendor.

Cons

The company is beholden to one major manufacturer where 80 plus percentage of it revenues come from. Makes it very difficult to be objective in front of customers. The customers in todays market are not ignorant and increasingly they are seeing they are not getting an objective viewpoint. Too much favoritism on the sales side. If you are buddies with the management you are guaranteed better accounts and preferential treatment. If you are not you must fend for yourself.

I apologize that you had a less than favorable experience at Ahead. For clarity, no one vendor is over 40% of our business today and we are committed to offering customers an objective view. For the last four years we have invested considerably in our lab and our advisory consulting services to ensure this is the case. I do agree that we have to continue to hire quality engineers - we have made significant strides on this over the last few months and hired a senior recruiter to focus on this and augment our existing recruiting team. These resources are hard to find, but we are dedicated to process and improving everyday. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
