Pros

The organization offers the opportunity to work with many talented people. The opportunity could potentially exists to develop a career in a very fast growing segment of technology.

Cons

It has become a stagnant environment where a few are protected and the rest are left to fend for themselves. The organization was much more tight knit when it was smaller and has begun to lose its way as we have grown. The entrepreneurial spirit has taken a back seat to closed door meetings and secret conversations.

Business Outlook

Pros

Worked on the MSP side. Starts good but.. Since they are buying out Indian IT companies, your job is not longer secure. You will loose your job to someone willing to do the work for 5 dollars.

Cons

Your job will be replaced by someone from India. Money hungry greedy decision making. This is not the same company that cared for clients anymore. They lost alot of good people.

Business Outlook

Pros

There was a time when you had the time to actually look in to tickets to see what was going on. You had the opportunity to learn and grow with the company. The management team was fantastic.

Cons

Ahead decided to merge with Roundtower. In reality what has happened is Ahead absorbed all the terrible leadership and practices that Roundtower was known for and put it in to action. The Network Operations team are nothing more than ticket jockeys. Roundtower and their network admins went their separate ways and they think that the NOC team is going to have time to pick up the slack, ha. The leadership coming from RoundTower only care about the dollar, hence them not giving their people raises when even they bragged about having the most profitable year ever. Ahead has literally given itself cancer.
