Pros

Talented developers, you will learn on the job and learn fast in order to survive as it is a fast evolving startup environment.

Cons

Working at AirApps is, above all else, following what the supreme leader wills and defines as rule! Devoid yourself of personal will, personal hobbies or god will it spending time with friends and loved ones, because, if the supreme leader comes at five o clock in the afternoon and defines that, after all, all that you had been doing is to be redone (by yesterday) then everybody bows down their heads and starts to work on it. Middle management won't do anything to safekeep the low level blue collar workers, as well, so you either follow everything the CEO says or you're outcasted and out of a job. I worked at AirApps for some months until I opted out and quit, in that time it was the most rotation I have seen in a companies roster, even middle management that seemed to do every will of the CEO, as soon as, they started to question decisions of the CEO, like, getting back to the office got sacked. Avoid like the plague if you want to keep your sanity.

Strong Team, Poor Leadership and Outdated Policies

Pros

One of the strongest aspects of Air Apps is the people. Colleagues are genuinely supportive, talented, and enjoyable to collaborate with. The benefits are also competitive for the Portuguese market, which is a meaningful advantage. Initiatives like Air Adventures are well-intentioned and have the potential to bring teams closer together, and in the past they contributed positively to the overall sense of community.

Cons

The company has moved away from the modern, flexible culture that once made it so appealing. Remote work, schedule adaptability, and the ability to work from different locations are no longer supported, despite still being highlighted publicly. The shift to a strict office-only, 9–18h model has significantly reduced work–life balance and contributed to a tense and claustrophobic office atmosphere. You feel constantly observed, which makes it harder to speak openly or comfortably share concerns, even with colleagues. The PTO policy, while promoted as flexible, includes several restrictions and an informal “suggested limit,” which undermines its purpose. Decision-making feels highly centralized, which creates bottlenecks and raises concerns about scalability. Some individuals in higher positions are closely connected to leadership (family members), which can contribute to the sense of tension and limit how openly people feel they can speak up. It also doesn’t help morale that employees sometimes disappear from internal channels overnight without any communication or context, which increases overall distrust and insecurity within the team. Recent policy changes have been introduced with little transparency and limited openness to feedback, making them feel more like mechanisms of control than efforts to improve collaboration or communication. These shifts have noticeably affected engagement, and even team-building initiatives that were once appreciated now seem to generate less enthusiasm.
