Pros
The pay is competitive. Great colleagues. Once a year get-together trip for a 5 days.
Cons
None of the pros are worth it. This place does a great job of selling the company to outsiders, but don't ignore the red flags and other reviews here. I'm only writing this for applicants to beware and save their mental health, because we all know management reads these and does nothing about them, simply dismissing any criticism, as always. Air Apps does some bizarre things, like hiring people for remote contract roles, only to ask them to be in-office every day one month later. A lot of people have been getting the "be in-office or quit" ultimatum. They just expect you to move to another city and country just like that. Decisions are made based on whims from the CEO and his opinions. No plan is followed through. You will be getting unfair metrics and KPIs. The company used to be great and everyone was remote, and it worked perfectly well. Then, with zero transparency, things just shifted to in-office (Lisbon or SF). The remote workers started getting fired, people were quitting every week, and most of the time we didn't even get a warning that they left. I lost count of how many times I went to send a message to someone on Slack only to find their account deactivated. They simply have no respect or transparency at any point. You don't matter in this company. A lot of contracts have some very suspicious clauses, some even bordering on illegal in some countries. You will not be appreciated for the effort you put in, and when you quit or get fired they will do it with the least amount of respect possible. The CEO's family all works there, basically: his dad is always in the office, his sister and her family are all hired—it's serious nepotism. Managers and Leads have no power or voice at all. Agree with the CEO or leave, that's it.
