Pros

1. Good amount of high quality work. 2. Brilliant team & People 3. Global presence & options to travel

Cons

1. Extreme bureaucracy. 2. Compulsory 9 hour everyday work will be clocked by fingerprint scanner. 3. Total directionless and opaque management 4. HR team is quite not upto the task. 5. Poor increments. Basically you have to fight for basic things every office provides like: Flexible working hours, office supplies, parking. Top management just don't care?

Hi there, thank you very much for your comments about AppLift and taking the time to share your feedback. It's great to hear that you value our team and the work we do. We always try to deliver the best products and services in the market. We can only achieve this with the best team! It's also great to hear that you enjoy the international work environment with all of its career development opportunities. So far we have seen great results from people traveling and collaborating on different projects in all our offices. For some of the things you mentioned I suggest you get in touch with the local HR and office management team. I'm sure we will be able to solve these things. I know for example that our team in Bangalore is already working on the parking issue in our office. Regarding working hours and time tracking I can only refer to one of our previous posts. Unfortunately we have to stick to local labor law regulations and present an attendance report in our Bangalore office. However, the tool is not designed to track your working hours. We want to keep working hours as flexible as possible. Of course we have to make sure that our global teams still work well together in different time zones. You will find most of the team in the office from 10AM to 7PM (including 1 hour lunch break) - so nobody has to work for 9 hours like you said. Feel free to approach me or the whole HR team to discuss these points. I think it's always the best way to discuss these things in person. Best, Alex

Pros

Great colleagues, amazing city, good company parties. Super place to start a career and have fun - they give you full time responsibilities when you start as an intern, trainee or junior manager. The benefits are nice -- they make you feel welcome very fast. Again, the colleagues are amazing! It really depends what you are looking for. A first job to get in the industry, have fun - then it's a good place to start. If you are looking for career development... read below.

Cons

Terrible place to grow a career. They take advantage of employees, underpay them, make them believe in value of shares (turns out they are VIRTUAL shares... and are worth nothing) DO NOT TAKE THE "SHARES." They get the employees to believe in the "group and other venture" opportunities.. which rarely ever happens and is a pure lie.. since people decide to leave rather than switch anywhere. The turn over is crazy. Very weak top management. No vision, no communication skills. Seems they are only in it to cash out. You have no idea what they do all day. Respect to them for having launch and raised money.. but they totally missed the start-up to company switch. There is no actual career dev. A massive glass ceiling.
