Pros

Working at Air Apps has been the best experience so far for me. Hard and exciting work, and gives me great flexibility and freedom to juggle between my personal and professional life. It is always busy, but everyone is very passionate about what they do and have a good time while doing it. Being part of such an ambitious and dynamic company is truly a privilege.

Cons

The fast pace and frequent context switching are part of the job here. Personally, I enjoy these aspects as they keep the work dynamic and engaging for me. It does require some adjustment and the right mindset, but for those who thrive on variety and staying busy, it's a great fit.

Pros

The flexibility of a remote work environment at Air Apps allows for increased flexibility, enhancing both productivity and happiness. Many super talented and engaged colleagues contribute to a work environment set up for success. The yearly conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet everyone in person and strengthen team bonds.

Thriving and being successful in this setting requires an agile mindset.

Pros

- yearly home office stipend - health care stipend

Cons

- The CEO is primarily focused on day-to-day oversight rather than shaping the company's vision, leading to a high degree of micro-management. - Despite promoting inclusivity, the company's leadership, particularly the CEO, has expressed indifference towards diversity, emphasizing a priority on timely and precise deliverables over fostering a diverse workplace. This is evident in the dismissal of the HR personnel advocating for cultural changes. - The company projects an image of seamless global collaboration and remote work, but in reality, their understanding of remote work is lacking. The company's roadmaps are disorganized, with the CEO determining estimates, and AI-generated projects are handed to developers without adequate clarification because the CEO generated them and he doesn't have the time to go through them, you will have to figure it out by yourself and be prepared wether he likes it or not. - They lack knowledge of agile methodologies, so they created a whole waterfall structure. They also don't understand that software projects have unpredictable issues that may delay the deliveries which is even more true when your work was generated by AI and you can't take doubts about it. Imagine your day-to-day work in a excel sheet with pre-determined jobs you must perform and finish each day. - Negative feedback is not well-received, and expressing criticism may impact future job prospects. - The CEO's family members hold key positions within the company. This familial connection may hinder effective resolution of company issues. - Unpredictable late-night work demands, including random calls from the CEO, may extend work hours until 3 am, particularly on Friday nights, until a desired product is completed. - Almost every employee in the company that is not CEO family-related is suffering from burnout, but they pretend everything is fine to keep their jobs. All the people who said something about it were dismissed.

Thank you for your feedback. Working at a startup is different and can be more challenging than a big, stable company. It's not for everyone, but it offers unique opportunities. We're proud of our diverse team, with people from 15 countries embracing all genders, origins, languages, and cultures. Achieving this diversity wasn't just a single-person goal; it was a collective effort from our entire company. The co-founders, Janina and I, are related, it's true. But like any founders, we're deeply committed to our company's success, ensuring we compensate our team well for their dedication and hard work. In a startup, the stakes are always too high not to take it seriously, and we're all in to meet those challenges head-on. Let's talk. Your insight is invaluable in shaping a better future for all of us at Air Apps. Filipe, CEO @Air Apps
