Pros

Flexible working and office snacks

Cons

Work people like dogs. CEO is a nutcase that is completely money driven to the point he doesn't care about employee happiness. Many people have left as the company culture has completely changed. Hard work is never acknowledged and you don't see any benefits that are stated in the contract. HR also doesn't know how to keep things confidential.

AppLearn Response

We have a great selection of benefits for all of our people, including flexible and hybrid working, cycle to work, EV lease, enhanced family leave, health cash plan, paid mental health support, enhanced pension contributions, increasing holiday allowances and share options. All of these are available for anyone to access at all times. Top of our priorities is our employee experience and creating a culture that all of our people can thrive in. Whether this be via L&D opportunities, social events, benefit offerings, industry events or giving back to our communities, we take the lead from our team on what they want to see at AppLearn. As our business evolves, so does our culture and we receive excellent feedback through our externally produced employee engagement surveys.

Pros

Some genuinely talented colleagues. Some good technologies.

Cons

Post-Acquisition Chaos: Since the merger with [Other Company], our once efficient product has been lost in a complex and wasteful platform. Lack of Clarity and Planning: Strategic direction is muddled and inconsistent, leading to decreased morale. Slow Development Times: The new platform's complexity has drastically slowed down our development process. Poor Kanban Management: What used to be an efficient system is now plagued with bottlenecks and delays. CTO's Lack of Business Focus: There's an excessive emphasis on over-engineering suitable for a company much larger than ours. This disconnect leads to inefficiencies and disillusionment. Nepotism in Leadership: A clear inner circle operates on their own motivations, often disconnected from actual business needs. Ineffective New Processes: New processes introduced by the CTO were tried but never improved upon based on team feedback. Instead, more meaningless steps were added, creating a disconnect between design and application. Ignored Feedback: There's no effective mechanism for feedback. When given, it's often ignored or bogged down by additional processes. Frustration and Negativity: Team members are worn down, leading to an environment of bitterness and a sense of futility.

Pros

Great culture with easy access to leadership who are quick to support with decisions (great in sales :) )

Cons

If you're not comfortable with a fast paced organisation and able to adopt to changes, it might not be for you.
