Vantaggi

- Fully Remote (location independent) - Good Salary - 40 days vacation (but your national respective holidays are part of this 40 days allocated vacation) - Get together once a year in fancy hotel for a few days - At First Things Are Great... At First...

Svantaggi

- CEO gives off a weird vibe & goes for goals that are questionable. - Hard to understand what the CEO wants in terms of tasks to be performed (other people I talked to within the company shared that same feeling of miscommunication and misunderstanding with him) - Questionable practices towards employees: A developer once had a laptop broken, the upper management told him to take days off from his reserve of vacation days while he gets a new laptop. (seems the management is so concerned about costs that they are willing to trample on the employee's holidays) - Random laid off for no good reason (a PO in charge of the backend was once fired because the CEO just decided to give the position to someone else, not necessarily because that other person was more competent than the current person) - Other random layoffs: 1 Week before Christmas a layoff of 14 people happened without an any explanation given (all the developers located in Brazil & France got laid off all of a sudden) - Increase pressure of delivery overall (on the Design, PO & Developer teams) - People feeling they mental health are affected negatively (personal remarks I've heard from colleagues) - An inadequate PO manager

I appreciate your candid feedback and recognize the concerns you've raised. It's important for me to address each point directly: Communication and Goals: The perception of unclear goals and miscommunication is a significant issue. Effective leadership requires clarity and alignment on objectives. I will work on improving communication channels and ensuring our goals are transparent and understood across the organization. Pressure on Teams: The increase in pressure and its impact on mental health is concerning. We must foster an environment where workloads are manageable and support is readily available. We have revised our projects and implemented KPIs to address both sides of the scale in 2024. Management Practices and Performance Assessments: Your management advice is well-taken. Continuous improvement in how we manage and assess performance is essential. We will explore additional training and development opportunities for our managers to ensure they are equipped to support their teams effectively. I am committed to making the necessary changes to address these issues. I encourage open dialogue and welcome any suggestions for improvement directly. Filipe, CEO @AirApps

Vantaggi

Great opportunities for anyone at the company to make a big impact. Opportunity to create products that people love to use. Exciting and cutting-edge projects that reach a wide audience. Caring coworkers and an amazing global workforce. Management does a great deal to make this a great place to work with get-togethers, stipends, a career coach, etc.

Svantaggi

Sometimes it can be challenging to stay on top of such a competitive industry. We pivot often with the market which may be difficult for some, but exciting for others like me. Unless you are willing to speak up you may not be heard when there is a lot going on.

Vantaggi

There are no pros in terms of work there, but they provide food

Svantaggi

Well, the people that leads the company have a pretty poor quality of life, and a huge gain in weight with the exhaustive job routine, so they had an amazing idea to build a run club within the company where they force you to run with colleagues early morning before starting work. No shower is provided, no clothes are changed, and people have to spend the day sweating and smelling like horses inside the office. If you don't run, you are treated as a loser and bullied by the owner. This TOXIC environment is a reflection of the power sense they want to feel against us, how if control everything we do wasn't enough, now we are forced to run with them just because the weight loss is part of the new company plans, not to mention we need to get earlier in the office than the usual -> to take a run. They describe this as an incredible thing, but it's just one more thing getting in our way and making us spend even more time in the office, and not having our own lives.
