      Pros

      Nice location, building is kept up nicely and entry level staff is nice and friendly.

      Cons

      Sr. management team is made up of 55+ individuals who are all outdated and just want things to stay as is until they retire. Stay away and don't apply until this group phases out....Need not apply until 2025, trust me on this one.

      Grateful to be a part of this company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Having worked for two other companies in the same space as Ahead, I came onboard with high expectations. Everything about AHEAD lives up to its namesake and the effort and thought that the founders and senior management put into every aspect of this organization trickle down and are reflected in the work ethic and demeanor of each person I have encountered in my short time since coming onboard. I've always believed that the work people do says everything you will ever need to know about the people themselves and the support system they have in their employers. Everyone here seems to love what they do and has fun doing it. which has been a refreshing switch from my previous decade of experience. I couldn't be happier with my decision to join this team and I am excited to be a part of what comes next.

      Cons

      The Chicago office is moving farther from the train stations but change is good and walking a little extra is generally good for everybody, right?

      Pros

      - Work around very talented, motivated people. - Salaries are competitive. - Convenient downtown Chicago location, - WFH when not on road or customer site. - Very fast paced, you won't ever be bored.

      Cons

      - Very little organization, sometimes to the point of madness. Very little in terms of documented processes or structure. - Often unreasonable travel exceptions on very little to no notice. - Disconnect between management and Engineers. Pressure on sales to get sale completed and Engineers to figure things out later. - Revolving door, people leave and remaining employees aren't notified. - Culture tends to lean more towards 'politically incorrect' - if you can't handle swearing and off color humor, this place isn't for you. Some perceive this as unprofessional & off putting. - Too EMC centric, but this may change with the recent sale of both Ahead as well as the EMC/Dell merger.
