Appfire Technologies reviews

Incredibly toxic leadership; I simply can’t state enough how unhealthy the culture has become. Teams members are scared to speak up for fear of being fired for providing even the slightest constructive feedback. There’s an utter lack of strategy and direction within the departments and the company as a whole. Incredible company values however, they are not the values demonstrated at nearly any level. Leadership uses all the appropriate buzz words in public, but their actions contradict those words and values. Employees who communicate concerns are retaliated against despite being assured “we don’t allow retaliation”. They are remote first, but require travel and don’t declare it until you’re hired. Suggesting methods to improve efficiency within a team (the majority of teams have horribly inefficient workflows that aren’t scalable to the company’s growth) essentially destroys your career. Most teams are so over-allocated with work, everything has to be done “quick and dirty” instead of thoroughly and effectively.

You might get a good salary but the work environment and toxic culture isn’t worth it for me. Leadership and management is very unprofessional when interacting one on one. I was shocked by the behavior and language used when talking to their reports. So this unprofessionalism gets passed down the ranks and creates a very negative environment. Company goals are nonexistent and yet there is unreasonable pressure to meet them at all costs (how can you meet a goal when you don’t know what it is? Leaderships says “That’s not my issue, the board needs it met!”). Deadlines constantly change. You don’t have the tools and access to data to do your job and no one seems to care. Leadership and management are out of touch and only interested in their own promotions. I never saw a single person get a raise or promotion except a few favorites who had been with the company for several years so the review cycle and leveling system is pointless. You won’t be proud of the work you’re doing if that matters to you at all. Everything is so convoluted and political you’ll question what you were even hired to do in the first place. Overall would not recommend working here if you can find something else.
