Stay way from this company if you want to keep sane

Pros

- yearly home office stipend - health care stipend

Cons

- The CEO is primarily focused on day-to-day oversight rather than shaping the company's vision, leading to a high degree of micro-management. - Despite promoting inclusivity, the company's leadership, particularly the CEO, has expressed indifference towards diversity, emphasizing a priority on timely and precise deliverables over fostering a diverse workplace. This is evident in the dismissal of the HR personnel advocating for cultural changes. - The company projects an image of seamless global collaboration and remote work, but in reality, their understanding of remote work is lacking. The company's roadmaps are disorganized, with the CEO determining estimates, and AI-generated projects are handed to developers without adequate clarification because the CEO generated them and he doesn't have the time to go through them, you will have to figure it out by yourself and be prepared wether he likes it or not. - They lack knowledge of agile methodologies, so they created a whole waterfall structure. They also don't understand that software projects have unpredictable issues that may delay the deliveries which is even more true when your work was generated by AI and you can't take doubts about it. Imagine your day-to-day work in a excel sheet with pre-determined jobs you must perform and finish each day. - Negative feedback is not well-received, and expressing criticism may impact future job prospects. - The CEO's family members hold key positions within the company. This familial connection may hinder effective resolution of company issues. - Unpredictable late-night work demands, including random calls from the CEO, may extend work hours until 3 am, particularly on Friday nights, until a desired product is completed. - Almost every employee in the company that is not CEO family-related is suffering from burnout, but they pretend everything is fine to keep their jobs. All the people who said something about it were dismissed.

Thank you for your feedback. Working at a startup is different and can be more challenging than a big, stable company. It's not for everyone, but it offers unique opportunities. We're proud of our diverse team, with people from 15 countries embracing all genders, origins, languages, and cultures. Achieving this diversity wasn't just a single-person goal; it was a collective effort from our entire company. The co-founders, Janina and I, are related, it's true. But like any founders, we're deeply committed to our company's success, ensuring we compensate our team well for their dedication and hard work. In a startup, the stakes are always too high not to take it seriously, and we're all in to meet those challenges head-on. Let's talk. Your insight is invaluable in shaping a better future for all of us at Air Apps. Filipe, CEO @Air Apps

Over time, the company culture and values have dissipated

Pros

The people are amazing and very skilled at what they do, 40 PTOs, flexible and async working hours, insurance, monthly remote stipend, yearly fully paid get togethers, learning and development stipend. You would get to work with the latest technologies.

Cons

The company often changes its plans and tasks, making you work extra hours to meet tight deadlines. Even with 40 paid time off (PTO) days, it's hard to recover from burnout. There are contradictions in the company's values, like pushing for fast deliveries but taking a long time to make improvements for employees. Job security is uncertain due to possible layoffs, reason being restructuring at Air Apps. If you need a job to retain your work permit, it's better to look elsewhere.

Thank you for highlighting the strengths of our team and the benefits we offer, such as the generous PTO, flexibility, insurance, remote stipend, yearly get-togethers, and opportunities for learning and development. It's also great to hear that working with the latest technologies is a highlight of your experience with us. Frequent Changes in Plans and Tasks: Frequent changes in direction are causing stress. I will ensure that changes are communicated more effectively and that we commit to ambitious and achievable plans. Bringing in a CTO: Your advice regarding the appointment of a CTO is well-taken. A CTO can indeed play a crucial role in establishing realistic deadlines and fostering a work-life balance. The points you've raised are crucial for our growth and the well-being of our team. I appreciate your candidness and agree that our team deserves better. Your feedback is a call to action, and I am committed to making the necessary changes to ensure that our company offers excellent benefits and provides a fulfilling work environment. Thank you again for your feedback. Filipe, CEO @AirApps

Company Not to trust, Founders are not team players.

Pros

Good Work life balance. They have a strong remote culture enabling you to be flexible on your working hours and greatly skilled developers to collaborate with. Salary might convenient but it is not competitive on the market.

Cons

The leading focus of the company is to control individuals rather than building a trustful collaborative team. Collaboration is not discouraged even tho it is promoted. Communication is fakely promoted, private messages are tracked and no one dare to share their true opinion in public by fear that it could be disaligned with the founders vision. Any private activities are tracked/blocked on the company's devices. No learning culture, side project are discouraged and sharing knowledge is not really happening. Career growth is miserable, I personnaly evolve to a higher rank and I have been given 2000euros/year, considering it was the annual growth of my salary I basically got scammed. What is it if not a joke in this market. I'm not even going to talk about the HR department either related or mostly controlled by the founders, Good luck if you go for it take care of yourself in this company you are alone you will havde to fight for what you deserve.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. Hearing your concerns, it's clear we have work to do. The essence of collaboration, trust, and open communication is fundamental to us, yet it seems we've fallen short. It's concerning to hear that everyone is not feeling our efforts to promote a supportive and transparent workspace. For this, we need to listen more and do better. I invite you and anyone feeling similarly to come forward and discuss these issues openly. With your voices, we can make the necessary improvements. Let's address these challenges together to ensure Air Apps grows and does so in a way that benefits all its members. Let's talk. Your insight is invaluable in shaping a better future for all of us at Air Apps. Filipe, CEO @Air Apps
