It's always disappointing to read when one of our employees has not had the best experience whilst working for Appsbroker. I think the situation you are referring to was a few years ago, where unfortunately we had to make a small number of employees redundant due to lack of requirements from our customers for testers on their projects. Unfortunately this happens sometimes and in this instance our customers prefer to provide their own testers in collaboration with our project team members. The timing was unfortunate. However we supported those affected as best as we could at that time. I hope you have been able to find a new role and company that works well for you and wish you every success in the future. Regards

Thank you for your kind words about the management team and your colleagues. It's a shame you did not get the variety of work that you were looking for when you joined our business and that you felt the need to do something different. I hope that you have found what you're looking for in your new role and wish you nothing but success and happiness

Pros

Great Place to work! Amazing Kind CEO, who is very involved in every day life. As a relatively junior employee, I have often had lunches in old town with Mike, and other members of the senior management team, which is unheard of in other companies. You feel cared about and valued here, making us feel like we can really make a difference. Outside the workplace, The company has helped me to discover new hobbies, such as Bike Polo that I tried at the summer social. I also have great colleagues and friends here! With such a wide spread of people working at Appsbroker, it has been easy to find people who share my interests and hobbies.

Cons

No relevant cons i can think of

Thank you so much for representing who we are and how we collaborate at Appsbroker. No one person is more important or contributes any lesser or greater than the other. We all have an abundance of skills which fit perfectly together and make for a great working environment. As you will see from other reviews, this doesn't always work for everyone all of the time but it does for the most part. We are still a close knit team with real family values at the heart of everything we do, we are not always perfect but we constantly strive to achieve this. I hope you continue to enjoy the collaboration of a lively, fast pace business.

Pros

- High-Impact, High-Profile Work: This is an incredible place to be, even early in your career. You get to work on genuine household-name clients and have the opportunity to drive significant, measurable impact. - A True Meritocracy: The company is a fantastic environment for anyone with drive and a willingness to learn. If you're ambitious and proactive, this is a place where you can genuinely grow and see your career progress quickly. - Accessible & Transparent Leadership: The leadership team is highly accessible and open to conversation. It's a flat-feeling culture where you can easily walk up to anyone in the C-Suite, including the CEO, to discuss anything. - Open Communication: This transparency is felt across the business. For example, the Head of Data is super accessible and holds regular, open forums with the team, which is fantastic for alignment and culture. - Fantastic New Office & Perks: The new London office is a huge plus. It's modern, comfortable, and a great environment to work from, with access to a free on-site gym. - Exciting, Strategic Growth: The company is in a dynamic and exciting high-growth phase. The leadership is acquiring new companies in a very smart, strategic way, and the customer roster is huge and impressive. It feels like we are building something special. - Great Opportunities: The company provides unique opportunities to learn and connect, such as attending events hosted by Google. - Good Camaraderie: The office culture is positive, and there's a great sense of camaraderie among the colleagues who are in. - Genuine Respect for Work/Life Balance: I've never been pressured to work late or outside of my normal hours.

Cons

- Low In-Office Attendance: Because of the company's history of being fully remote, the office can be quiet. While the culture is good, it would be great to see more colleagues in person to build on that collaborative energy. - Politics of Rapid Change: The company has been through a lot of growth (merger, rebrand, new leadership, acquisitions) in a short time. This in itself is an exciting thing, but it often feels like the Old Guard are constantly complaining about the company maturing and growing up and working against the change.

Pros

Excellent client portfolio with strong presence in financial services, retail & other strategic industries Working on cutting-edge projects including Agentic Commerce, Autonomic Security Operations and other market-leading initiatives Established reputation for complex data migrations with significant deal values Stratos platform is a genuine differentiator that sets the company apart from competitors Leadership team is approachable and empowering with a genuinely collaborative mindset Recent sales hires bring impressive pedigree from Director/VP level at companies like Stripe, AWS, and Gartner Generous events budget creates great team culture & networking opps through track days, sports hospitality, and social gatherings Strategic global expansion through smart acquisitions, with BYND being a particularly strong addition Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday office policy strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and in-person collaboration Talented, dedicated colleagues throughout the organisation, with particularly strong leadership in FS delivery and engineering

Cons

Previously the company had been relatively risk-averse when it comes to investing in specific areas of our business. However, now the tide is changing (in a good way!)

Pros

I'll start this by saying I am 100% fully behind the new leadership team Alan (CEO) has put together. The regime from 11 months ago and to an extent 3 months ago deserves it's own fully negative review. This is no longer that company. I have also refined this using Gemini to make it fit the Glassdoor format and remove the emotion. Better Senior Leadership: They are actively clearing out old issues and making positive changes. Excellent Work-Life Balance: For a consultancy, the work-life balance is exceptionally good and is probably the single biggest differentiator from competitors. Interesting & Varied Work: The client-facing work is genuinely interesting and varied provided you are utilised and provide good technical challenges. You will learn new tech along the way. Good Colleagues & Tools: The equipment provided is decent, and the people I work with are (for the most part) competent professionals from whom I can learn. Positive Cultural Shift: The company is actively and removing legacy staff and cultural baggage that do not align with this new high-performance / growth mentality. Requires High Autonomy: To survive and grow here, you must be able to operate independently. You have to set your own high standards and find motivation in doing good work for the client, as you will not receive it from the internal structure. (I LOVE THIS, it makes the day to day far more interesting.)

Cons

Standard Private Equity Play: Be under no illusions: this is a classic PE-backed operation. The strategy involves acquiring companies, merging them, and seeking synergy. This model inherently brings high-level churn and re-orgs as the company is prepared for an eventual sale (likely in 3-4 years). Advise to happily accept this, all the noise is in the background provided you are utilised and so just enjoy the time you spend here. Non-Existent Culture: There is currently no real, unified culture that EVERYONE can get behind. As a consultant, you are 100% embedded in the client's environment and (in my view) feel no connection to the wider corporate group. Operational Line Management: While senior leadership is getting better, the existing line managers for client-facing staff need to be empowered to leadership and promote excellence throughout their orgs. Typical Consultancy Detachment: You will not really engage with the parent company side unless you actively seek it out. Anyone who claims this isn't the case for this type of work is being unrealistic.
