Pros

Will hire, so there's that, if you're into sadomasochism Does provide crash course training, which honestly does give you some form of skills that can be used elsewhere (and rightly should)

Cons

I don't know where to begin, this company had me worried before I even took the interview. Everything felt wrong. The two year contract felt like a prison cage waiting to fall on me, good thing we made sure not sign anything completely binding or else that's £10,000 they've got from you. The work-life ratio was thrown out the window, at least 18 hours a day of training, including weekends, just to keep up, in order to train you to their so called 'standards'. They did however do a good job of telling us up front that they were going to lie on your 'profiles' they were going to make, but of course didn't mention how much more lies you would be getting into. The hiring process was even more shady, going from phone call to hired in 3 days doesn't exactly feel fantastic, but when you're a graduate looking for a job, you'll take what you can get, and they knew that fact and exploited it, as they will do with most their employees. The team working there, while somewhat friendly, were not approachable, not offering help, even after I had 'emailed' time and time again how I'd felt about my time there. and when I did decide I wanted to leave and this wasn't right for me, they tried to justify that I has to pay them a grand for the 1 week was there, revealing exactly what they were, deplorable and deceitful. Reading the reviews on here, and the reviews from when the company was known as unbounded, it's made me physically sick, the lies, the lack of respect and sheer illegality of the whole business is shameful and I honestly can't believe I was even affiliated with them. Oh, and don't believe any of the higher rated reviews here either, as i was working there, 3 'good' ones popped up in the space of a few days, so I'm sure they were questionable to say the least.

Pros

Company is on a huge growth trajectory, offering lots of opportunities for people willing to work them. You'll be surrounded by very smart, ambitious people, so if that's intimidating for you, this isn't the place for you. But if you take advantage of it, you can go very far in your career and be rewarded along the way. Executive management works hard to create a welcoming and rewarding atmosphere for everyone.

Cons

Not really a con for most people, but you should be adaptable, as things move at a fast, exciting pace.

Pros

I've worked for The App Experts for several years and have been afforded so many opportunities to take on new responsibilities. I've seen the internal team transform into a group of individuals that are smart, fun, and engaging. I cannot wait to see how some of our newest changes lead to a fruitful 2019!

Cons

Nothing negative to say- we've had some growing pains, but management has tackled them with aplomb.
