Ahead Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Ahead full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – There is lots of diversity in technologies to deliver along with the clients that I worked with. The sales team is incredibly technical and smart. The management team is always looking for ways to improve the customer experience and improve the talent pool for its employees. Lastly, fast paced and rarely boring.

Cons – There are not any cons that are significant. There is a risk that they are very dependent on the relationship with EMC but the relationship with EMC is very strong and they were awarded partner of the year.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great work.
