Pros

Earlier this company had some really good managers and leaders but now it has only good CEO's/Founders which are not in India.

Cons

One bad hire in leadership 3 years ago turned this company from best to worst. Introduced politics instead of quality. Introduced lies and blame games instead of problem solving. Introduced favourism to encourage lies and blame games for getting rid of good and competant people. Hired like minded political yes boss team members and cornered the smart and hard working people to leave. Introduced over estimation of work through wrong technical reasons, lies and blame games, to defend the yes boss team's incompetancy of work and to save the teams gross margins. This over estimation of work results in excessive higher selling price as compared to our competitors, resulting in poor sales and business. Even with the over estimation of work, the dev quality of the product and service to the client is poorest because the only people left on job now are the yes boss incompetent favourite people who only supports and focuses on lies,blame games and technical execuses to save themselves. Introduced the like minded political incompetent poor project managers who make the team learn only politics, wrong doings, bad project management and overall bad culture. So above is what a wrong hire on a leadership position can do to turn an organisation upside down from best to worst in 3 years.

Pros

Appster is an amazing company which is in the early stages of it's international plan for world domination. We only hire the most amazing people in their respected fields which allows us to take pride in what we execute. We have an extremely transparent work environment with a flat organisational structure. Our success to date is largely due to our training and recruitment models which increases productivity by alleviating micromanagement. We get to work in an environment which is always changing and adapting to the current trends which creates the ability to really utilize creativity. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work at Appster I STRONGLY suggest drop everything and do whatever is in your power to lock in a position. This is an amazing opportunity I have been lucky enough to receive and I know that this will be my last stop before retirement!!! Appster is the future so show us what you can do to help lock in a spot to help change the world!!!

Cons

I have to break it to people in some cases that their idea isn't feasible, original or potentially viral. This is the only thing about the job which I don't like however people appreciate the honesty so it really isn't as issue at all and is a great place to be as a business.
