Pros

Free breakfast on some days if you got in early enough.

Cons

The company has been on a slow decline for years (not from great heights to start with). Applearn have never successfully been able to create a culture or environment worth staying for and turns over around 60% of the staff year on year. Employees are treated appallingly by senior managers, who run the place like bullies in a playground. A truly soulless, depressing place in which the phrase 'you could hear a pin drop on the other side of the room' is a daily reality. Sad. Maybe too late now but managed properly the company had great potential with an interesting product.

I am sorry your experience has not been positive. We do work hard on creating a culture where all of our people can excel and demonstrate their skills, one which is inclusive and one which facilitates team work I believe we have a great team spirit, demonstrated by the camaraderie and bond we have.

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.

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

The people is what makes this organisation tick. The helpfulness, compassion and attitude to win together is evident unfortunately it doesn’t go up the ladder to leadership.

Cons

The product is behind the competition, and the wishful thinking of merging a more feature-rich solution to the current offering has so many shortcomings that after many years, it is still not ready for prime time. The lack of resources is making new customer acquisition impossible in a market with many DAP options that have more exciting potential. Churn is a challenge that this company can’t get a hold of, and it’s not improving. Reducing costs by reducing headcount is not a surprise in any organisation to show a positive cash flow, and at AppLearn, it has become a regular tradition. Incompetent leadership who bring no value to the business will steer this ship right into the ground. The ship is sinking, and the writing has been on the wall for a while. A short-term mindset with no vision to grow, where the strategy is to change every time the wind blows, and expecting immediate results will never work. Company is There are so many red flags here, and no matter what the leadership say or bends the truth to be, you will be set up for failure by design. They removed my original post, and this is 2.0. Please do your due diligence and don’t eat from their trough of lies.
