      Disorganised Structure and Unfulfilled Promises - Software Developer Appoly Employee Review

      Pros

      - Opportunity to work on a variety of projects - Small team means exposure to different aspects of development - Talented colleagues

      Cons

      - Promises made during hiring (such as R&D Fridays) were never honoured - Lack of clear organisational structure results in developers handling multiple roles; PM, QA, development, and client communication - Work socials are heavily centred around drinking, which may not appeal to everyone - Project management feels chaotic, leading to unnecessary stress and inefficiencies

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to create a supportive, structured work environment where developers can grow and contribute meaningfully. R&D Fridays are essential to our culture and available to all developers. The vast majority of the team enjoys this benefit regularly. However, as with any role, meeting core responsibilities comes first, and on rare occasions, if project work has fallen behind, individuals may need to prioritise delivery. We also strongly believe in developers taking full ownership of their code, including QA, a standard practice in many high-performing development teams. This approach ensures higher quality and better accountability for the work we deliver. Regarding our company culture, we regularly host hack days, team-building activities, and social events designed to be inclusive for everyone. However, we always welcome feedback and continually look for ways to improve. We appreciate your time with us and wish you all the best in your future career.

      Pros

      Encouraged to build the software so that it is robust and extensible as opposed to the 'sweatshop' mentality where you put out mediocre products as quickly as possible. For me personally this makes my work far more fulfilling than it has been anywhere else, and has greatly expanded my ability to hone my craft as I code. Dedicated R&D time means my skillset is kept up-to-date, and I get to work on some really exciting projects. Management all are from a coding background, and encourage you to speak up if there is a problem or you need help - they also understand all the inevitable problems that can come up during development and genuinely have your back if something goes wrong. Great co-workers who are supportive and good fun to work with. Work-life balance is really good, flexible hours means I can schedule doctors appointments etc. really easily.

      Cons

      None for me so far.
