      I have been working at AE Business Solutions full-time

      Pros

      Working at AE allows me to be challenged and learn new things on a daily basis. Everyone is friendly and willing to help each other when needed. The customer always comes first while offering a family focused work environment.

      Cons

      The office has an open layout which makes the noise level a challenge at times and there could be more conference rooms.

      Positive Outlook

      I worked at AE Business Solutions full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      AE Business is made up of a group of solid individuals. There is a level of genuine humanity you will not find at most companies. The work atmosphere is laid back, however they are results driven. AEBS puts the customer's first, operates with integrity, and knows how to have fun.

      Cons

      Benefits packages. The benefits did improve during my tenure. In their defense benefits can be a trade off, big corporate vs. smaller company.

      Advice to Management

      I think management is taking all of the necessary steps to foster a positive culture, exploring ways to stay relevant, and having a good time along the way. Keep it up.

      I worked at AE Business Solutions full-time

      Pros

      The job itself is excellent. Best technical consulting agency in the area, by far.

      Cons

      Definitely an old-school boys-club. Saw other experience (and experienced myself) blatant racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, and sexism. As a minority, I was not comfortable working there.

      I worked at AE Business Solutions as a contractor (More than a year)

      Pros

      None --- no reason to ever work here. Learned about AEBS practices through my time with them ... enough to ban them from opportunities .. I am now an IT Director.

      Cons

      Management promised many things during recruiting but they were just a pack of lies. Arrogant management that did not care about employees once they got them on board. They are struggling to build up a practice in business intelligence and other areas, but fail to realize that this is impossible without having skilled people. The longer term consultants are untalented and egotistical.

      Advice to Management

      Stop lying during the recruiting process

      Very open culture, lots of focus on selling latest technology products

      Not many cons that I know of

      Advice to Management

      Invest more into training for the employees

      Great Place to work with career development.

      Cons

      Lots of new technology to learn

      Advice to Management

      Management is great.

      Neutral Outlook

      I worked at AE Business Solutions full-time

      Pros

      Small company with a solid history of success. Pay is competitive. Long-term employment, if you are one of the "good ol' boys."

      Cons

      They are a third-tier re-seller with minor staffing arm. No room for advancement. Horrible benefit package. Diversity? Yeah, right.

      Advice to Management

      Get a new owner. He has lived in Madison too long and does not know how the outside world operates.

      I worked at AE Business Solutions full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Competitive salaries and opportunity for advancement.
      Decent (but not fantastic) benefits including paid time off (sick,vac), training, health/vision/dental and 401k

      Direct access to decision makers who are open to new ideas.

      Definitely opportunities to learn a lot of new technologies for those who want to learn more.

      Cons

      Limited opportunity to advance as it's a relatively small company with a flat organizational structure.
      Salaries could be a bit higher to be competitive with the market.

      Advice to Management

      Beef up your 401k match a bit.

      Pros

      The only pro is you get paid on time, and the check doesn't bounce.

      Cons

      Management is horrible. No consideration for consultants which bring them their income. You're a number or a piece of meat. Benefit plan is the worse on the planet.

      Advice to Management

      Work FOR your consultants they pay your salaries.
      Get some benefits for your employees
