Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Interesting projects.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

People are treated based on their nationalities. Even if you are billable and getting lot of money for company there is never a fair raise. Trainings or career plan is not there.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Give fair raise to foreigners. Do not use German language as argument. Stop buying more companies and take care of what you have first. Coming to office and only doing remote meetings does not worth at all please think about it again.

Work Environment Marked by Disrespect and Public Shaming

2,9

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung bei Appsfactory in Leipzig gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Working here has been a frustrating experience. While every company has its challenges, a respectful work environment should be a given—but unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

On the bright side, the team itself is great—colleagues support each other, and there’s a real sense of solidarity in dealing with these challenges. But that doesn’t change the fact that leadership sets the tone, and right now, that tone is anything but professional.

Bottom line: If you value a workplace where respect and fair treatment are the norm, I’d think twice before joining.

Kommunikation

Some managers seem to think that pressure and public humiliation are effective leadership tools. Instead of addressing issues professionally, employees are called out in meetings, criticized in front of colleagues, and even singled out in internal Slack channels. Mistakes—often caused by unclear communication—are met with sarcastic comparisons.

This isn’t just demotivating; this behavior could also be in conflict with German labor law. Employers have a duty to provide a workplace free from insults and humiliation. Publicly shaming employees in front of colleagues or in company-wide communication channels may contradict this obligation.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Work life balance is good. Few projects are also good.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Since they don't have any projects now, they are creating trouble for everyone so that people leave on their own. In yearly review my lead had 7 positive and 1 negative feedback (to which i replied with a reason and he agreed to it) but they still noted down the negative one to not give any raise. and if they wont find anything against you they'll hide themselves behind German language. ZERO BENEFITS. ZERO APPRECIATION. ZERO BONUSES. Typical third world business.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

1. Listen and trust your people.
2. Treat human as human
3. Give fair compensation
4. Dont hide yourself behind baseless/bogus reviews
5. Be more reasonable

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Isabel Divivier, Director People & Culture
Isabel DivivierDirector People & Culture

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your disappointment regarding your salary adjustment this year. While I recognize that your expectations were not met, I would like to address some points you raised.

In economically challenging times, safeguarding jobs is our TOP priority. This may lead to more conservative salary adjustments than usual. However, our compensation remains competitive and meets or exceeds industry benchmarks in Germany. Salary increases are determined by individual performance and contributions, which is standard practice across most companies.

Besides of salary adjustments, more general conditions can be discussed and adjusted during annual Staff Appraisals - e.g. individual trainings and benefits. More in detail: We are committed to the professional development of our team members. Our internal training academy offers several opportunities (in 2024 we invested in >450 trainings) for ongoing education and skill enhancement. We also provide benefits like job bikes, gym memberships, workation options, kindergarten subsidies, and regular team events.

At Appsfactory we hire the best of the best. Of course we trust and listen to our Appsfactorians. Just to mention a few examples:
- Extensive Q&A sessions with our CxOs as part of every All-Hands meeting
- Continuous monitoring, analyzing and answering of feedback through our internal feedback tool Workleap Officevibe
- Annual employee survey to gather comprehensive feedback

In the last All-Hands meeting, our management shared extensive background information, also regarding some new projects, and answered questions – perhaps you missed it. Feel free to catch up and watch the recording, which you can find in our Confluence. If any questions remain or you need further discussion, please feel free to come directly to me, and let's talk in person.

Kind regards
Isabel

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung bei Appsfactory in Leipzig gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

the colleagues

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

when you get hired, you get the misleading feeling, that the HR-Department cares for you.
They don't.
Instead of mediating between the worker's requests and the company's interests, they only represent the company.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Be more transparent.
Don't lie to your workers.
Take responsibility for your actions, instead of hiding the results, when they didn't work out.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It feels weird to work for this company, since the management is blaming us for their bad middle-management, while reducing our (almost non-existent) "benefits" to a minimum and is not taking responsibility for their decisions.
Also there have been almost no raises this year, since the management wanted to acquire a new company.

The competent and friendly colleagues are the only reason, I haven't left yet.

Image

While transparency is not implemented, Middle-Management is investing a lot to show a good image to the outside:
- most kununu reviews feel payed
- final good bye messages to our af-general channel get reworked by management, if they don't like them
- new colleagues get cushioned to show them that everything works like a charm in this company

Work-Life-Balance

pretty good, since the only requirements of the CXOs is that you are working on "billable" projects, which you have almost no control over.

But there is always time for more unhelpful meetings or plenty of coffee breaks.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There used to be a 2 hour time frame for every employee to learn about new technologies and just keep up-to-date with tech changes.

This time frame got sneakily omitted years ago.

Gehalt/Benefits

As already stated, raises are almost always declined. The best performing people got a 3-5% raise this year.
Long-term workers might get skipped or denied, depending on their origin.

Benefits are mostly just so Appsfactory can say "we have benefits", but these benefits are just here so we aren't eligible to receive bonuses.
Also the company parties got downsized a lot this year. Maybe next year we will have no company party at all.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

No measures were taken. The highest paying client gets accepted.
Moral doesn't play a big role here.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

It feels more and more like this company has a "good" and a "bad" side of the force (like in star wars).
The colleagues motivate each other and listen carefully, but the if you communicate your concerns to the "dark side", you have to fear getting laid off immediately, without further notice or transparent explanation. This has happened multiple times now.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Old people only get hired for management positions. Otherwise Appsfactory is always looking for cheap and young personell.
Confirmed by outsiders.

At least the get treated fairly.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Most direct superiors are competent, listen actively to your requests and take time to solve your problems with you, but you never know, what is being communicated behind your back.

Kommunikation

The more or less regular all-hands meetings don't feel honest at all. Management is dodging questions, they don't feel comfortable answering.
Also the new middle-management employees, don't take the time to explain their requests or communicate their problems transparently.
Instead they say "please submit your forms better" without enough context on how to accomplish their wishes.

Gleichberechtigung

Appsfactory brags with it's diversity, but never tells you about how foreigners get treated here.
Foreigners get way less income and almost no raises.

Also every working contract has some clauses like "don't talk about your income", which is illegal to prohibit in Germany. Management knows this, which is why they added the clause "if any clause doesn't apply, you can't sue us".
This has the consequence that foreigners stick to rules, that aren't legitimate, while fearing that they might get terminated.

Interessante Aufgaben

We haven't acquired a lot of new projects and we are only implementing "best practices", that we have already implemented.
Interesting tasks are only assigned to "high-performers".

You can act very freely and proactivity is appreciated. This creates space to develop and to get things done. The parties are amazing.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I am very happy at the moment.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Maybe think about the ‘old hands’ again and again. That's certainly being done, I just want to point out that it's always a challenge to keep the level in the area of salary the same with new hires.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Great energy, especially at the HQ in Leipzig.

Image

Very good so far, we've also had a lot of positive feedback from customers. Even when things don't go as planned, you always manage to make everyone happy.

Work-Life-Balance

In an agency, you may have to survive a peak here and there, and sometimes things can get a bit busy, but overall you can work very flexibly.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

My team has had several training sessions and, in my view, you can always get in touch with HR and make suggestions. Of course, you need to be proactive to a certain extent, but then there are many opportunities.

Gehalt/Benefits

Very appropriate. Sure, there are exceptions, but generally good. The current times are, of course, a challenge for everyone.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I think more could be done, including participating in official reports, such as ESG.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Top.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Overall, there are a lot of young people in the AF, but the veterans and older members are also treated with respect.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Lockere, moderne Umgangsform (Duzen) inklusive "Chefetage." Wirkt wertschätzend und man fühlt sich als wertvolles Mitglied und wird direkt eingebunden.
Die 3 Geschäftsführer sind alle nahbar und selbst noch aktiv ins Tagesgeschäft eingebunden. (evtl. Entlastung durch VP o.ä. nötig). Sie sind immer offen für einen Schwatz an der Kaffeemaschine oder ansprechbar bei Problemen. Und feiern Seite an Seite mit den Mitarbeitenden auf sämtlichen Partys. Das hab ich so tatsächlich noch nie erlebt.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Entstehende "Gläserne Wand" zwischen People&Culture (ehemals HR) und allen anderen.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

- Mitarbeiterfeedback ernst nehmen. Es wird immer wieder ermutigt dieses abzugeben aber am Ende werden die Punkte übergangen oder man bekommt eine unbefriedigende Antwort zurück.
-Ziele / Leistung messen und kontrollieren, gerade im non-billable Bereich.
- Make the Jahresbonus happen.
- Feelgoodmanagement fürs Feelgoodmanagement. Der Fokus ist vor allem bei den Entwicklern, und die "internen" (IT, Finance, Assistance...) fallen oft hinten runter. Hier ist leider oft so, dass man einfach nur der Dienstleister ist und niemanden interessiert ob man sich wohlfühlt.

Image

Nach außen Top. Die Kunden schätzen die Arbeit und Leistungen wirklich sehr und man gibt sich im Umgang mit ihnen echt sehr viel Mühe. Die PTLs versuchen immer alles möglich zu machen. Intern bekommt man eben auch die unschönen Sachen mit, daher ist es aktuell durchwachsen.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Die Mülltrennung funktioniert mittelmäßig. Eine Biotonne wäre toll. Das liegt meines Wissens aber in den Händen des Gebäudemanagements.
Es werden (zB nach feiern/grillen etc.) unglaublich viele Lebensmittel weggeworfen - hier könnte man die MA ermutigen sich ggf etwas einzupacken oder am nächsten Tag zu verspeisen. Auch die Bestellvorgänge (Amazon) könnten optimiert werden ( zB 1x pro Woche, 2x im Monat)

Outdated Return-to-Office Policy and Leadership That Creates an Unpleasant Atmosphere

2,9
Nicht empfohlen
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich IT bei Appsfactory in Leipzig gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Trust they put in you with projects without micro managing
- Each office can adjust some rules according to their own needs
- The teams
- The variety of projects and clients and by that the amount you can learn :-)
- Summerparty and Christmasparty in general to bring everyone together :-)

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

1. Below-market high-level salaries

2. When internal surveys reveal negative feedback or unpopular opinions, you're treated as the enemy, rather than being met with an effort to understand and improve

3. The focus is entirely on numbers

4. Christmas parties are now scheduled 2 days before christmas, a time when most people are preparing to travel home. It feels like they’re more concerned about avoiding sick days during regular work hours knowing the compay is going to be closed after the christmas party anyway

5. No Christmas, vacation or end-of-year boni or at least a little creative personal surprise or even personalized speech that shows some appreciation for the work we are all doing during the year. Beanies with a huge AF Logo nobody is gonna wear – really?

Verbesserungsvorschläge

1. Homeoffice Flexibility, no back-to-office culture
2. A more appreciative communication style from C-Level to employees: we all want to work here, love our projects and clients a lot of the times and are not taking half days off just because we work from home
3. More appreciation for project successes
4. HR shouldn't complain about tasks that are central to their role, such as receiving and evaluating employee feedback and addressing concerns.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Within the team it is totally fine, within the overall company it's unpleasant

Work-Life-Balance

1. Employees have the flexibility to choose their working hours within the core hours of 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which is fair.

2.Transitioning from a home office culture back to an office-centric one is the most outdated and unfriendly news to employees, especially those who never signed up for this change. What about those with families, kids, or pets to care for? Or those who started new hobbies thanks to reduced commute times? Now, some employees even have to commute from other cities.

3. Officially, overtime isn't paid, and employees are required to work up to 16 hours per month without compensation—this isn't ideal. However, team leads usually handle this fairly, allowing most people to balance overtime within the same or following week.

4. Vacation planning has become restrictive, with employees now needing to schedule part of their time off by June and use 10 days before June or July. This limits flexibility for those who prefer taking holidays in the second half of the year, although individual arrangements might still be possible.

5. Workation is possible worldwide (nice!) but only once a year and up to 4 weeks – this could be a bit more flexible.

Gehalt/Benefits

1. The salary is too low for Seniors and Teamleads (under marketstandards) and the ranges are immensly wide.

2. There has been an instance where salaries were paid a few days late, even extending into the next month, such as over Christmas, due to someone forgetting to confirm the payments. This is unprofessional for a company of this size.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

If we don't get to fly we do it for the pricing not the environment. I would say AF is neutral in regards to social and environmental consciousness

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Great Team, mostly really nice and appreciative people

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

We are all pretty young :)

Vorgesetztenverhalten

1. The leadership team is quite young, which often results in inexperience and a lack of strong psychological team management skills.

2. Depending on the individual and the level of pressure, leadership can range from being very fair to destructive and demotivating.

Arbeitsbedingungen

1. Whenever you need something reasonable (hardware to work better for example or office furniture) it is followed up quickly and with no complications.

2. The offices have terrasses and really aesthetically pleasing conference rooms.

3. Adjustable tables are standard, the good ergonomic chairs are only reserved for fixed desks

4. The offices themselves feel a bit dry and cold though.

Kommunikation

1. Communication in official meetings from C-level to employees often feels awkward, unpleasant and restrictive. It sometimes comes across as if they don't trust us and begrudge us even small improvements. For instance, when they finally changed the sick leave policy to not require a doctor's note from day one, it was coupled with the comment, "We will monitor this over the next 6 to 12 months to see if the number of sick leaves around weekends increases, and if so, we'll revert to the old rule."

Another example is the new "back to office" policy, where we're required to book desks, accompanied by the statement, "Of course, we'll be checking to ensure you're actually in the office." Come on, really? Even if there are concerns, they don't need to be expressed this way, as it creates an atmosphere of mistrust and excessive control.

2. Good thing is the regular all hands meeting about company updates which has a slot for questions afterwards

3. The removal of team events and employee benefits like lunches during meetings or in other locations breakfast, combined with a lack of transparency about who gets to do what and when, creates a sense of randomness and inconsistency.

FührungskraftHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich IT bei Appsfactory in Leipzig gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Colleagues, projects, modern tech and frameworks, good hardware and tools.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

No real bonuses.
gym pass, dienstrad, free drinks, fruits and cereals.
Its ok to have gym pass (which not everyone wants to use) but its not possible to get support for Deutschlandticket. The argument is „not everyone will use it“. See the problem here…?
Only bonuses that are cheap, easy and don‘t cost any effort are maybe chosen…

The top management is only interested in making the most money. Social fairness, being a good company don’t matter at all, since it doesn't yield money.

Why do I still work for them: The colleagues and the projects - so far…

Verbesserungsvorschläge

The latest change is a step back from modern work-life-balance. You have to be in the office 2 days a werk. Other departments then engineering even more, up to 5 days! Dear top management, its 2024, give flexibility. Nearly no one wants to work just from home. Most people want the freedom to chose!!! Adjust their work style to their life style. Most people I worked and talked with in the company are happy to come to the offices when it males sense: team events, retros, refinements, client meetings, socialising.
The new policy is clearly a quick shot without much thought. „just get the people back, the offices cost a lot of money…“

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Depends heavily on your team. Some leads are very interested in you and your welfare. Others don‘t. The higher up go, the less they care.

Image

There is a huge machinery in the company to create a good outside view. Its mostly true but highly oversold… E.g. most positive kununu evaluations are from colleagues before their probation time ends. They are ask to write „an honest“ feedback.

Work-Life-Balance

Non-existent. They will tell you its there, but in reality its not. You are now forced to come to the office 2 days a week - „because the office was so expensive…“ - without having actual flexibility.
The most flexibility you get is talking to your project lead and agree on thing „under the table“.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

The middle management and tech leads are really interested in providing trainings, but HR is unable to provide a successful process for over 5 years now.
The yearly addition is a training contract for trainings with higher costs which bind you some time to the company or you have to pay back a percentage…

Gehalt/Benefits

Under the average. If you can negotiate well you have good chances for an over average salary. But keep in mind that there is no actual salary negotiation. Tell HR what you want, if you crossed a line they bring it to the top management. You will get feedback via email about what you get… Welcome in 2024.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

They care for the environment, but less for social fairness.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Colleagues work very well together. Everyone tries their best and helps each other.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Saw no bad examples, seems
good.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Some yes some no. Depends on who is leading you. Speaking about the top management and what they care about: money, money, money.

Arbeitsbedingungen

The offices are modern. You get good laptops and can chose between a Windows or MacBook. You are now even allowed to use certain Linux distros if you like.
Meeting room equipment is bad. The microphone quality is just the worst - in every office…

Kommunikation

There monthly/bi-monthly update meetings from the management and certain departments. How does the company do, whats news, changes - its on zoom. Everyone can (non-anonymous) ask questions afterwards in the chat. You have no chance to really discuss things.
The top managements often uses this to defend their points with arguments you can‘t react on in this kind of setup.

Gleichberechtigung

No chance for women to climb the ladder. In stereotypical positions like HR (only women) or Design, you find women.
This is exemplified by the top management and handed down the pipeline…
Worst part is that there is no interest in fostering diversity at any level. Efforts are just ignored.

Interessante Aufgaben

Cool and fun projects. You habe a lot
of freedom to shape the projects and contribute. There are some legacy projects here and there, but you get over them and the next exciting project will come.

Dear #Appsfactorian,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Your insights are important to us as we strive to continuously improve our company culture and practices.

We understand your concerns regarding compensation, benefits, and work-life balance. We're committed to providing a fair and supportive work environment and are continually reviewing our policies to ensure they align with this commitment.

Regarding benefits, we offer a variety of perks, including a job bike, Egym membership, workations, flexible working hours, regular team events, and 30 days of vacation. We're also open to discussing additional mobility benefits in the future.

We recognize that adjusting to a new work routine can be challenging. However, our hybrid work approach offers several advantages, such as fostering stronger teamwork and collaboration. By returning to the office for 2 days per week, you have the opportunity to connect with colleagues, collaborate on projects, and benefit from in-person learning experiences.

While we may not be able to accommodate every individual preference, we're actively evaluating our policies to ensure they align with our employees' goals and the company's mission. Our management team is dedicated to the well-being of our employees and is committed to creating a supportive work environment.

We apologize for any delays or inefficiencies you may have experienced when requesting training. We're working to improve our processes and encourage you to reach out to your direct manager or me if you have any specific requests or concerns. Please note that training contracts for expensive courses are common in many companies.

Regarding salaries, we offer competitive compensation that matches or exceeds industry benchmarks in Germany. Salary decisions are communicated through personal discussions or via Google Meet. If you've had a different experience, we'd like to discuss it further to understand the circumstances.

Some of your points are simply not true. We believe it would be beneficial to discuss these points in person. Please note that our central functions and top management are typically in the office daily, making it easy to reach out to us directly if you have any further questions or would like to discuss these matters in more detail.

Sincerely,
Isabel

Hi #Appsfactorian,
vielen Dank für dein ehrliches Feedback.
Wir verstehen deine Punkte und können nachvollziehen, dass es zunächst eine Umstellung ist, wieder regelmäßiger ins Büro zu kommen.
Appsfactory ist jedoch ein Unternehmen, das für eine starke Office- und Team-Kultur steht. Diese möchten wir weiterhin fördern, weshalb wir uns freuen, unsere Mitarbeitenden an 2 von 5 Wochentagen zurück im Office zu begrüßen. Diese 2 Tage können von allen Teams zusammen mit ihrem jeweiligen Teamlead frei gewählt werden. Damit möchten wir weiterhin ein hohes Maß an Flexibilität aufrechterhalten.
Unsere Büro-Räume bieten Ausstattung und Räumlichkeiten für alle Formen des Arbeitens (Teamräume, Open Spaces, Fokus-Räume etc.) - bestimmt findest du hier den richtigen Ort für dich.
Gleichzeitig möchten wir mit den Teamtagen onsite die direkte Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit fördern sowie das "Voneinander lernen" vereinfachen und unterstützen. Genau dieses gemeinsame Lösen von Problemen und die damit verbundene steile Lernkurve schätzen sehr viele unserer #Appsfactorians.

Solltest du noch Fragen und/oder weiteres Feedback haben, kannst du dich jederzeit an uns im People & Culture Team wenden.

Viele Grüße
Isabel
