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.
