Pros

Really good employees! Loved everyone that I worked with there.

Cons

The CEO specifically does not know how to run a business. It is failing because of a huge amount of technical debt that he pretends isn't there. No Agile, no CI/CD, no commented code, and the "flagship" products that have no actual income and are not publicly released were all coded by junior developers and interns that were either not paid, or given near minimum wage. After getting an offer at another company and putting in my two weeks, I was promptly fired with a notice to take my experience at the company off of my resume because it was "inaccurate" and my job title was "not in reality" Technical Lead, even though that's exactly what it says in several documents. Overall very unsatisfied and the turnover rate is incredibly high: with 5 employees being fired over the course of a single month, in a less than 10-employee workplace.

Interning at Flapmax was an extraordinary journey that enriched me both personally and professionally. Throughout my time at Flapmax, I cultivated resilience and patience, traits essential in navigating the dynamic landscape of software engineering. One of the most exciting aspects of my internship was the opportunity to dive into cutting-edge technologies.

Working directly with the CEO was an invaluable experience that truly set Flapmax apart. I was given the opportunity to contribute to important decisions and gain a deep understanding of the product and its vision. This level of involvement empowered me to take ownership of my work and make meaningful contributions to the company's success. Thanks to the guidance and mentorship I received at Flapmax, I not only honed my technical abilities but also developed a strong sense of leadership and initiative. As I embark on future opportunities, I am confident that the skills and knowledge I gained during my internship at Flapmax will continue to propel me towards excellence in the field of software engineering.

I feel its a place for people who really wish to learn and put hard work.
