Read what some of our team members have said about working at Agileana.

What is the best thing about your job?

  • Blake - The best thing about my job is that I enjoy what I do. It’s fun. It doesn’t seem like work to me. Every day is different. It is challenging. I learn all the time. I love the people I work with. Everybody is so professional, competent, and caring. We have interesting clients and it is fun to be part of their team and mission. I also have a lot of autonomy. I can control the flow of my day, usually. It is a good mixture of reading, writing, interacting, thinking, etc.
  • Shefali - It's difficult to choose just one aspect since I enjoy multiple facets of this job. But flexibility would be my top pick. Being a working mom has its challenges but this job has helped me contribute effectively to work while not missing any of my motherly responsibilities. At Agileana, we care that the work gets done with quality and on-time not necessarily from 9 to 5.
  • Christian - Great team vibe, we are consistently communicating about pretty much every aspect of the project, also great opportunities to learn and become a better developer.
  • Flynn - It allows me to spend quality time with my special ones, run unexpected errands, and catch up with work on nights and/or weekends. Being able to work from any place in the world. Surrounded by great co-workers.
  • Lucas - Quality time with my family by avoiding commuting time to an office. My work partners, we've become more than that, we're friends. Great salary that allows me to enjoy a good lifestyle.
  • Gordon - I get to work with some really diverse and amazing people. They have talents both inside the office as well as outside. They are supportive of each other, whether it be about the work or about their personal lives.
  • Tiffany - I have the freedom and flexibility to touch on several aspects of a project in various roles. 'm treated as a human, not a number. I'm able to get experience in different roles, rather than being confined to a narrow system. Everyone's voice can be heard and there is ample room for  everyone's growth.
  • Felipe - Thanks to our current practice of Agile methodology, we are in constant communication with the client and while there may be urgent tasks from time to time, we are usually managing the time in a way that we don't need rush, that gives us time to deliver quality. The project keeps bringing up some challenges, opportunities to acquire knowledge on technologies and ways to improve. I feel happy with my salary. I work from my home, where I feel comfortable.

What is the best thing about the company?

  • Blake - The best thing about the company is that, well, there are a few. Of course, the people. I’ve worked with some of them for over 10 years. They are like my brothers and sisters and sons and daughters. They are my friends. We enjoy spending time with each other. They have great personalities and are fun to be around. The core founders of the company, the Colombians, are givers. They freely give their time, talent, and attention. They are not in it for themselves, per se. They are not takers. They are highly competent and responsible. The other part I like about the company is that it allows me to steer the direction of my future. I feel like I have control and autonomy. I have a life by design. I love working at home. I like our clients, our mission, our space.
  • Shefali - The best thing about the company is the culture that has been developed over the years. We are like an extended family who care about the success of the company but care equally about each other's lives. We celebrate our similarities and embrace our differences.
  • Gabe - What has stood out to me about Agileana so far has to be the relationships within the team. It’s very easy to talk to anyone and ask questions. There’s humor, fun, but also professionalism. It’s making for a great experience.
  • Christian - I love the openness in the communication and the focus on agile methodology and the fact that we are a medium size company.
  • Flynn - Good salary. Support for training/certifications/conferences. The English-speaking environment which has helped to improve my English skills. Working in a fully agile environment.
  • Gordon - There is a dedicated group of extremely sharp people who are intent on pulling together as a team. All of whom are led by an extremely dedicated, proficient, forward thinking person who sees the potential in the parts as well as the whole.
