Pros

Initially I thought the flexibility, but now I'm fed up of that too

Cons

The CEO of this company has a twisted vision of reality: he wants to sell to other IT companies their products, implying that they somehow know better than the other IT companies. The funny thing is that Appway is beyond industry standards in every aspect. The codebase has been written by coding school dropouts and would need heavy refactoring/rewriting but nobody wants to take that responsibility. The quality is very low and teams spend a lot of their time fixing urgent issues. On top of that, the culture is really terrible, people talks a lot behind your back and are not afraid to put you at shame in front of higher management. Finally and probably the biggest issue is that they want to play the Champions League with the same people they had when they played in Third or Fourth League. These people, despite being considered as gods by management, are not capable to bring the company forward. Additionally they are afraid of new comers as these could hinder their careers and will not hesitate to diminish their work and to take an hyper-defensive approach to the awful current situation (in a few occasions, they have pushed that people who came from outside and were trying to change things would be fired or somehow forced to leave).

We're sorry to hear you don’t feel challenged in the right way at Appway – it would be very helpful and constructive if you discussed your concerns directly with one of the leads. As our success stories and broad client base show, we have become a well-respected and a successful player in the software platform business, which is typically a space taken by big(ger) players. Platform business comes with a different set of challenges than the usual end-user software: while providing innovative new platform capabilities, we also must ensure backwards compatibility and smooth upgrades of existing client solutions for each end every platform release. Therefore, architecture and technology decisions need to be wisely taken and well-thought through and based on cost-benefit analysis. And we have been continuously improving to keep our technology stack up to date.

Nothing as of now except the CEO

Cons

Dear Appbird, Thank you for your feedback and for raising your concerns. We would like to hear them from you directly so, please don’t hesitate to approach People Operations or the Head of your Department. At times we can all feel like we're not heard, and although we try to keep everyone happy, we are not able to guarantee it. We do, never-the-less, want everyone to understand why individual decisions have been made, and want you to know that our door is always open.
