Avantages
- High-quality and reliable hardware products that users actually love. - Skilled engineers in R&D.
Inconvénients
- Post-IPO redundancy paradox: Despite being highly profitable business, Appear initiated a redundancy process targeting Norwegian-based employees almost immediately after going public. - Outsourcing core functions: Management is currently moving key functions to the UK. While firing permanent staff in Oslo, they are simultaneously hiring expensive contractors and consultants to fill the gaps, raising questions about the true "efficiency" of this restructuring. It is kind of a "social dumping" at the cost of Norwegians jobs. - Culture of harassement and fear: There is a pervasive environment of harassement by management. Employees are being pressured into silence, creating a "toxic" workplace that is diametrically opposed to the company's polished marketing and public communication.
