Leadership that really cares about the team

Pros

This is the third company where I've had an opportunity to work with the founders of Aha! as an engineer. I have been fortunate to be able to work with them on different types of SaaS-based tools. But a few things remain the same: their leadership, insight, and ability to build incredible teams. The engineering team is great. And the leadership team (all the way up to Chris, our CTO) really cares that you grow as a programmer. There is always something new and challenging to work on. Programmers can get complacent and comfortable. Our team is the opposite, all of the engineers feel a sense of purpose and create code that will really have an impact. This allows us to grow more quickly than we would anywhere else. And I've always been impressed by how deeply Brian (the CEO of Aha!) cares -- both about the work he does and the people he works with. He wants to see you grow personally as much as professionally. He invests a lot of time and effort into making sure that the team feels fulfilled at work and at home. Ultimately, this is an incredibly unique team that I haven't found anywhere else. That's why I joined Aha!

Cons

Aha! lives its "responsive method" to the core ... If you can't handle transparency and "interrupt driven development" then you'll have a rough go of things. That said, it's really not a con, just something that's different than most companies.

Ideal for engineers who want autonomy

Pros

There is considerable room to grow as an engineer at Aha! The product is powerful, and our engineering team ships new features every week. You will never be bored as long as you work here. There is always a new project to work on, and you are given a lot of freedom to do your work. Aha! is built using Ruby on Rails, and the team embraces new technology to keep it fresh and responsive. I've had the chance to build breakthrough features in one weekend that ended up benefiting the whole product. Personal initiative is rewarded at Aha! -- and the CTO gives us ample room to iterate our work. This gives us the freedom to try new code without fear of failure. There is no carrot/stick motivation here. Everyone is such a high-performing member of the team, that I've constantly felt pushed to improve my skills and get better at what I do. It's a refreshing, empowering, and incredibly fun way to run a company.

Cons

I have to put something in here for "Cons" -- so I will say that this is not a great place to be if all you want to do is clock in and clock out. Everybody here is excited and motivated to build a great product and a lasting business with a high performing team. If you don't want to be a part of that you will feel left out. On the flip-side, if you want to help improve how companies build their own products and innovate, you will feel radically included and relied upon as an important member of the Aha! team.

This company helped me rediscover my spark

Pros

I feel really fortunate that I found Aha! at the right time for me. Although I had worked for many years as a product manager, something seemed missing. I was clearly at a crossroads in my career. But Aha! changed all that. I heard about Aha! from others and wanted to try out the software for myself to see what the buzz was all about. Right away I knew the founders were creating something really special here, and I wanted to be a part of that. Working for this company has not only reinvigorated my spark for product management, I am now able to work with a group of great, hard-working people who share this passion to build something really terrific. Aha! has helped me find my mojo again!

Cons

No cons come to mind.
