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 on top of trends, we meet with vendors to evaluate offerings, we work with customers to deliver on time solutions. To put it plainly, we kick butt up and down the block.
There is unlimited PTO but the catch is bonuses are tied to team billing goals so if you aren't at a customer, that can go against it. People manage that themselves. I've had no troubles thus far with vacations, presentations, or personal days.
Meetings are only as frequent as necessary. Equipment is good. We actively use slack to keep in touch.
For Reference: No one demanded me to do this review. no one asked me to tweak my review. This is my honest opinion. Ahead kicks a--, im very very glad i'm here.
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 have been approved).
Don't go hear if you aren't fired up on your own. This isn't a slow company for people who like to live in a silo. There are places for that (i could name a few). Ahead is for people who raise a hand and say "ill do that!".
