      Stellar company, A+ engineering team

      Pros

      I've been here for over four years now, and I can tell you that the company is serious about the culture and values it publicizes on its website. The high-level goals and direction are clear, leadership is transparent, and everyone is consistently kind and responsive. The engineering team is hands-down the best one I've ever been a part of -- intelligent people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experience who are nevertheless humble and kind. I've never felt afraid to ask a question or speak my mind. The benefits are great -- some quite unusual for a small company, such as a significant annual profit-sharing bonus and a 401K with company contributions.

      Cons

      I've seen some negative reviews lately -- I can't speak for their experience but I can tell you that it frankly has not been mine. The company definitely values hard work, and I've pulled the occasional late night or weekend in preparation for a big feature launch, but those are by far the exception and I've never been asked to work more than 40 hours a week. The CEO is certainly opinionated about how to build a successful company, but I have never felt that I cannot talk to him about any concerns I might have, and I think the company's success says a lot about his leadership style. Remote work does have some legitimate cons, especially depending on your personality and working style. I've found that I have to go out of my way to find social interaction or else it's easy for me not to leave my house for a few days at a time. I'm pretty introverted so that doesn't bother me too much, but it's not a lifestyle for everyone.

      Rapidly-growing company, hardworking people

      Pros

      Everyone at Aha! is smart and incredibly hardworking. Your teammates always push you to do your best work, and everyone embraces The Responsive Method. The people I work with are the best around. Even though we are fully-remote, we still build meaningful connections across the team — the company takes some great approaches that make this possible, whether it’s informal, virtual coffee chats with team members or our bi-annual company onsite. Our co-founders are passionate about the business. And they truly embrace a “people-first” approach. I love their philosophy of value over valuation — it makes me feel like I am working toward a larger purpose every day. Our leaders are extremely transparent and keep the entire team up-to-date on company performance. They embody our core values and set the example of how to live by them each and every day.

      Cons

      While remote work comes with a seemingly endless list of upsides, one downside is that it can be difficult to know when to unplug. It is important that you keep yourself accountable for the regular breaks and exercise that you need. Once you master this, remote work truly is a life-changing thing!

      More pros than cons with a very successful company

      Pros

      Some of the reviews on here are negative, and I have to say that's not my experience at all. This is a good job. Definitley, remote work is great. The company is profitable, and stable, if you've worked at a startup then you know how terrible it can be to be worried about getting paid, and if you've worked at a big company then you know how it is when everyone's scared of getting laid off. I've done both, and this is a solid company from that side. I think that for the most part the pay is good, and the benefits are too. I can't speak for every department. Profit share is substantial, and it's a nice bonus to count on every year. People are generally nice and there is no back stabbing. They also all share all of the company performance in calls every week which is nice, and you don't feel like you are just a cog, and not knowing how things are *actually* going. I feel like my manager takes me seriously, and I never feel like anyone is trying to take credit for my work. There are some really smart people working here, some of the smartest you'll meet. It's easy to get lost but, if you're willing to work they'll give you interesting things to work on. The on-site trips are in great locations, and the team does a wonderful job of organizing with activities.

      Cons

      Remote work as others said, but this isn't a remote job like you might think you really have to work a lot and be available. It's not any different then if you're working in an office in that sense. You can't just take off, and go to lunch for hours. It's fine to time for appointments, and no one gets on your case if you need to go do something as long as you tell your team. Common sense, normal stuff. On-sites can be long with every minute of your day is scheduled, and it gets exhausting. Vacation time is not good, and there's no sick leave you have just one bank of paid leave. You'll be expected to work over weekends. It seems like some departments work harder than others and although they ask for feedback it can be hard to speak up in a big group especially when you're having to respond directly to the CEO in front of everyone. We're all working hard but it can seem like it's never enough and eventually some people will burn out. Sometimes it feels like smart people are hired but, then put to work on basic things.

      Aha! Response

      We have done our best to build a company that respects each individual and performs at an exceptionally high level. I appreciate that you recognize that. But we are not perfect every moment. And not everyone describes what perfection is in the same way. As you pointed out we have nearly removed "drama" from the company which is something we should all be proud of. We think the benefits that we offer are meaningful and we recently posted more information about them publicly here: https://www.aha.io/company/careers/benefits But your experience might be different depending on the companies you have worked in or the country you are in. Most importantly, in an organization that is approaching 100 people, the culture is all of ours. If you want it to remain as it is — it is important for you to promote why it is special to you and what makes it unique. I would be happy to discuss how you think we can all do that if you want to talk about it now or at the upcoming onsite in person.
