Pros
I have been with the company for a number of years and I was surprised when I first came to Glassdoor and saw how many bad reviews the company had. Appsential seems to have a very good retention rate and most people I work with are happy at their jobs. The company has a lot of senior resources who are extremely knowledgeable and happy to share that with other people in the company. Appsential also does a good job of providing a work life balance for its employees. While there are definitely certain times of the year or roles where more is expected, in general people are averaging forty hours a week.
Additionally, Appsential provides competitive pay and lots of exposure to the partners/upper management. People that work hard and do a good job are noticed quickly and rewarded with more responsibility/opportunities.
Cons
Appsential faces the standard problems that any young small business faces like having positions available to promote people and having well communicated policies. In general as the company matures these struggles seem to be getting better, but there is still room for improvement.
