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.
