Great Place to work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Applauze

Band of the Day, History of Jazz and Applauze are some of the products built by this company and all won a ton of awards.

It took a long time to arrive at what the business model really is. We were doing a lot and spreading ourselves too thin

Casual office, mostly friendly staff. Company throws lots of parties and buys lunch pretty much every day.

The CEO is nuts! He creates an incredibly stressful environment by walking around yelling when he thinks something is wrong. Usually nothing is wrong and he just misunderstood an email or some project (run by time strapped employers) is taking too long. The company is terrible at spending money. They blew through a $10+ million dollar round of funding in less than a year. They contract to hire everyone but invest almost NO time in developing you as an employee. I'm not a Dev but the Devs seem lazy. The CTO defends them but it mostly seems like he's making excuses. No direction from the top down. This is a company who's business revolves around smart phone apps. This is also a company where the CEO wanted to open an office in London BEFORE an Android app was even built. The decision making here is mind boggling. The CEO is like a child who sees something shiny, wants it, then forgets about it almost immediately.
