AirApps Software Engineer reviews

Too many to mention but the forced return to office resulted in the company threatening lawsuits to staff and isolating others from their colleagues. Shocking levels of micromanagement to the point where nothing is achieved.

Air Apps is a unique workplace, where there seems to be a lack of trust in the development team's capabilities. Despite claiming to follow an agile approach, the company's demands are strictly top-down, with the CEO heavily involved in every aspect of our work, even down to the coding level. The daily micromanagement, takes precedence over strategic planning for the future of the apps and the company. Working here can be quite stressful, with tight deadlines imposed by the CEO, who, unfortunately, lacks the technical expertise required for informed decision-making. It's also worth noting that the CEO has a familial connection to the POPs, which can make providing feedback to HR a challenging endeavor. Another notable downside is the constant flux in work processes. In the short time I've been with the company, I've witnessed numerous abrupt changes in processes, teams, and work methodologies. These changes appear hasty and often unproductive, driven by the CEO's desire to 'hack the time,' despite the evident lack of success with such approaches. The CEO's propensity for maintaining chaos in the workplace can be frustrating. It often feels as though he thrives on the disorder, seemingly making himself indispensable for decision-making, rather than allowing the company to operate efficiently without constant micromanagement.
