Pros

If you are reading this I would be mindful that the majority of positive reviews here are from interns who went through a training program and were then encouraged to review FlapMax on Glassdoor. While they weren't told what to say and their positive feelings are genuine, they do have an incredibly limited view on how the company operates, so it may be beneficial to look at the other reviews from more senior staff members to see how the company operates. Anyway here is my review: Great team on the ground with a lot of passion and dedication. Overall its mission is inspiring but its practices and processes do not reflect its proposed values. Willing to listen to new ideas but fails to launch them with cohesion.

Cons

Poorly organised, overly micromanaged from the top. Terrible communication between departments. Far to willing to resort to punitive action like threats of dismissal or docking pay when a simple conversation would do the trick. Has little to no understanding of how content creation works in regards to time and effort which means the team is often overworked with unrealistic deadlines that could have been communicated earlier. Has lofty goals but is unwilling or unable to leverage the capital to realise them. Nor considers the time needed to strategise and action them. Management could learn to take accountability and realise the buck stops with them instead of deflecting blame outward. Unnecessary reporting processes waste time and are often not reviewed and so are simply done to check a box that serve no material purpose. Management does not respect employee time and will request employees to work after hours or on weekends, and will often do this at the last minute. What's worse is that this will be requested due to a failure in planning or time management from management.

Pros

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. These experiences not only expanded my technical skill set but also ignited my passion for innovation and problem-solving. 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.

Cons

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