Pros

The culture at Aha! is the real deal. You are surrounded by incredibly smart people who want nothing more than to build impactful software and help other teams do the same. We are motivated by guiding each other through continuous learning, pushing each other's ideas, and helping each other become the best marketer, PM, writer, engineer, support, or ops person that you can become. Day one begins your 5+ week onboarding program (some roles go through much more). Not only will you go deep on learning the Aha! application, but you will also learn about how we work, the interruptions we welcome, and how we deliver real features on a weekly (yes, weekly!) basis. You will also be paired with a coach the entire way. You will quickly experience the incredible work of a true cross-functional team and how everyone contributes to making the product better. On several occasions, I have witnessed a conversation happen on chat and within 30 minutes that "idea / improvement" is deployed to production. We move fast and we do things that make sense for our users (including us — since we literally run the entire business in Aha!). No matter what role you are in, you have ownership to make real impact. Wether it is an internal process improvement, a new marketing approach, or a feature for the product, everyone contributes toward the shard goals. And yes, you actually understand what the goals are. The access to company metrics is incredible and we review how we are doing on a weekly basis. Numbers, stats, etc. are not hidden — you have access to see how we are doing just like everyone else.

Cons

If you prefer running solo off on your own and following little-to-no process, you will not enjoy working at Aha! We have lots of process and work hard to continually improve them. You own your work, but everything is collaborative, reviewed by peers (multiple times) and there is little room for rockstars working in the dark coming back with a final solution. If you do not like extreme transparency (all your work, to-dos, etc. is visible in Aha! by the entire team) then you will not enjoy working on this team.

Pros

I worked at Aha! for three years. I consider those to be the time when I grew most in my professional career. You will be pushed hard to do things you aren't sure you can do, but that is what makes you better — and you will always be treated with kindness. Aha! is the most talented group of professionals I have ever worked with. From the CS team who answers support tickets, to the marketers writing blog posts, to the engineers behind the code -- everyone is world-class. It can be intimidating at first, but over time all those talented folks just become your coworkers. And a great group of coworkers at that. Company profit share is generous and onsites are a great opportunity to travel to beautiful places and connect with the team in person. If you have ever wondered how to build and sustain a remote company, there is no better blueprint than what Aha! has created. The product is great. It provides real value and it is something you can be proud to work on.

Cons

Don't think you are joining a remote company so you can do the job for 5 hrs a day from a coffee shop. You get to work from wherever you are most comfortable but you will be expected to perform and the bar to keep up with the talented folks here is high. Working from home can also make it hard to turn off, it is important to set boundaries that work for you. Working with people all around the country (and a few around the world) was really awesome, but I did find myself missing the human interaction of an office on a day to day basis.

Pros

Smart, empowered people. Goal driven. On-sites. Aha! Cares. TRM. Authentic. Always learning. Always growing. Strong values that influence everything we do. And, a world-class product. I can't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

I have worked at many startups and some very large corporations, it can be intimidating to work with so many amazingly bright people. It keeps you on your toes and drives you to be your best.

Thanks. You touch on a topic that does not always come out in reviews. We make decisions based on the core values of the company and do our best to do what is right. That does not mean that we do not make mistakes or that every day is perfect -- but it does mean that Aha! is the type of place that smart and hard working people have a great opportunity to be exceptional in.
