      Pros

      Remote work, average salary and the people.

      Cons

      Air Apps is a unique workplace, where there seems to be a lack of trust in the development team's capabilities. Despite claiming to follow an agile approach, the company's demands are strictly top-down, with the CEO heavily involved in every aspect of our work, even down to the coding level. The daily micromanagement, takes precedence over strategic planning for the future of the apps and the company. Working here can be quite stressful, with tight deadlines imposed by the CEO, who, unfortunately, lacks the technical expertise required for informed decision-making. It's also worth noting that the CEO has a familial connection to the POPs, which can make providing feedback to HR a challenging endeavor. Another notable downside is the constant flux in work processes. In the short time I've been with the company, I've witnessed numerous abrupt changes in processes, teams, and work methodologies. These changes appear hasty and often unproductive, driven by the CEO's desire to 'hack the time,' despite the evident lack of success with such approaches. The CEO's propensity for maintaining chaos in the workplace can be frustrating. It often feels as though he thrives on the disorder, seemingly making himself indispensable for decision-making, rather than allowing the company to operate efficiently without constant micromanagement.

      It's clear from your feedback that significant challenges affect your work environment and the overall morale of your team. I want to address some of your points directly: Role of a CTO: Your suggestion to bring in a CTO is well-received. A CTO can provide the technical leadership and vision necessary to guide the development team effectively. Process Stability: The constant flux in work processes and methodologies can be disruptive and counterproductive. I acknowledge the need for stability and consistency in our approaches. We will aim to establish and maintain stable processes, making changes only when necessary and with ample communication and rationale. Your management advice provides a clear roadmap for improving the working environment at Air Apps. Implementing these changes will require a collective effort and an ongoing commitment to improvement. I am dedicated to taking these steps, starting with empowering the team, improving our processes, and ensuring our workplace is one where everyone can thrive. Filipe, CEO @AirApps

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
