Pros
When working at Aha! you quickly learn that everything you've read in the blogs and on the website is true. This is a company which holds dear to its heart, the principles of kindness, transparency, clarity and growth. We all work hard each day towards clearly articulated, shared goals. We are empowered to act, educated by an on-boarding process that is second to none. After on-boarding, the mentoring process continues us along a path of personal, professional growth based on our own goals and interests. Twice a year, we all get together for a week-long event at which we consider the past 6 months and the 6 months ahead. We openly discuss any challenges and how we will work to improve. The learning and camaraderie are in equal supply and everyone is truly lifted by the event. Then we head home and put it into practice. Ultimately, we work hard because we enjoy what we do, who we do it with and we share in the rewards both intrinsic and extrinsic, collectively. That I get to do this in the comfort of my own home office is a real bonus. People ask, "don't you get a bit claustrophobic being stuck in the house all day?" and I can say honestly, "no." I love working from home. When I go to make coffee, I don't have that slightly awkward conversation with someone I don't know so well... I get to see my wife.
Cons
To be honest, I struggle to think of any cons of working for Aha! — except maybe that I no longer get to listen to 2 hours of Audible each day as part of the commute to work and back. I do miss listening to Audible. But on the other hand, I don't have 2 hours of driving every day.
