Pros

Nice location near time square. Projects are cool and nice people work here exclude the CEO who is never in office.

Cons

Horrible "entry" position for developers. I use term entry loosely. Entry developer get paid around 50-60k that is industry standard for mobile developer. Some developers in the form who has been there for a longer time makes more but they are worked insane hours. The boss at the firm will take advantage and try to pay you close to nothing (he told me $15 a hour). That is about like 30k year......pure exploiting developers. Most of the designers here are also get paid very little. Like around $10!- an hour. Boss will start off designers and developers as interns who will be work for free and assign to a lot of projects. The review below about boss expecting AAA work is true. He will expect you to bring AAAA work paying you the price of a McDonald worker!! McDonald worker gets paid more than some people at this company because boss start some employee off very low and promise a pay boost every few months. The turnover rate is very high too as said below bc of this.

We appreciate honest and credible feedback from employees and interns as there's always room to grow and improve. In this case however, your comments and claim to be a former senior mobile developer for our business are false. Our entry level developer salaries are much higher than what you claim and can be proven by the monthly pay stubs you would have received if you had been employed by us. Our CEO is an extremely hard working and dedicated entrepreneur who puts the company first. He's the last one to leave the office late at night and is accessible 24/7 to employees and clients. If you actually worked in our office as an employee you would have noticed that as well. The other more recent posts on GlassDoor represent some of our current employees that felt compelled to express their accurate experiences at Appetizer Mobile. It's a shame that you feel the need to try to hurt our reputation with inaccurate falsified information. We hope you can find more constructive ways to spend your time in the future.

Pros

- Team members and supervisors are laid back and have a high level of trust for their interns - Solid client portfolio with some very reputable names - Very flexible with scheduling, no micro-management - Overall a great company to get hands-on experience if you're just starting off in your career - Direct access to the CEO, who is super friendly and great to work with

Cons

- COVID has made all operations go remote, which makes collaboration across teams a little difficult - Compensation (though the learning experience is well worth the trade-off)
