AHEAD Reviews

Pros

Collaborative innovators that drive success while always looking out for our customers. These are the smartest people I’ve worked with in my career. Everyone’s ability to adapt and learn and share amazes me on a daily basis.

Cons

None. We are growing at a rapid pace but recruiting top notch people so it balances out.

Advice to Management

Keep hiring talented technologists.

Pros

Driven people who actually care about the client. They care about the WHOLE delivery process and don't always worry about upselling like seen at the bigger consulting companies.

Cons

None come to mind right now

Advice to Management

Grow at a steady rate BUT keep the closeness together or else this amazing company will turn into your typical big consulting firm

Pros

I started at AHEAD a month ago and I absolutely love it. I look forward to coming to work every single day. All of the executives sit in the middle of our office and are all down to earth, The CEO goes out of his way to meet every employee. Management is extremely transparent and map out what is expected of you.

Cons

I can't find one

Advice to Management

Keep it up!

Pros

AHEAD has some very talented engineers and technologists. The level of talent that AHEAD usually attracts also means that they can land large, career-defining projects. They generally tend to support training and certification.

Cons

AHEAD has previously prided themselves on having the best talent in the business. But over the last year, many of the most talented engineers and architects have fled the company for greener pastures. AHEAD is not a company that was built to scale, and management hasn't really addressed the scaling issues. Internal processes are horrible. Rapid growth has made these problems worse. There are no real career growth...

Pros

The chance to work with the smartest Engineers/Architects in the Midwest. AHEAD is frequently rated one of the best places to work in Technology. Much of our work is on the Leading edge of Cloud Technology. Tons of new work coming in

Cons

Rapid growth in our staff, lots of new faces Work is constantly increasing

Advice to Management

You are doing a great job growing the company. Just remember to stabilize the company through this period of rapid growth (i.e. remember to appreciate the teams and their efforts)

Pros

Ahead, LLC really empowers you to take charge of your career. This is a place for go-getters. You can review other employees LI profiles to see growth is there. As a company, we're growing, especially in the Twin Cities MN. My manager actively encourages me to grow (heck, i have bonus requirements tied to achieving more certifications, conferences, etc - they pay me more to learn, i love that!). We all try to stay...

Cons

The company is growing like gangbusters - and most troubles are just from growing at such a rate. There are some equipment security software I'm not a fan of being pushed down, and some formerly all hands in a cool place events are turning into "local events" (which may or may not happen). And i think one needs to explain why they really need to go to a conference or buy some materials (so far all my reasonable requests...

Advice to Management

Provide cell phones. BYOD with AirWatch isn't cool.

Pros

Wonderful place to work - everyone is driven, smart and creative! Everyone works hard to collaborate and make the most of the team environment. Doesn't hurt that the office and work/life balance are amazing! Anyone with a strong work ethic will find success at Ahead.
