About Appsfactory
What is Appsfactory?
Appsfactory GmbH is a digital agency headquartered in Leipzig, Germany. The agency page dates its founding to 2009 ("2009 Founded") and the development services page says "We started out in 2009 as a dedicated App development company." Today it describes itself as "Germany's premier full-service digital agency", and its adverts say "Appsfactory is Germany’s leading full-service agency for digital transformation, cloud solutions, mobile and web applications, automotive software, and customized tech solutions across various industries." The agency page lists "450 + Agile Talents 80 Designers 270 Developers 45 Project Managers 35 QA's", and the services page counts "750+ products developed, impacting 67 million people". The group also includes the design consultancy Edenspiekermann (acquired in 2024) and Cloudfactory, which the agency page calls "the digital architecture expert within the Appsfactory Group". The page also states "We are Owner-Managed". Appsfactory sells digital consulting, design, development and managed services to clients; the adverts on its board are for its own teams, for example "To build our first team at our brand-new location in Guadalajara, Mexico", and not for placements at client sites.
Where will I work?
The imprint gives the address as Appsfactory GmbH, Dittrichring 5-9, 04109 Leipzig, and the Leipzig page says it is "Leipzig, the city where the company was founded in 2009 and has since become our largest location with over 200 #Appsfactorians working there". The website also lists offices in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Erfurt, nearshoring offices in Chișinău (Moldova) and Skopje (North Macedonia), Guadalajara in Mexico, Los Angeles and Stockholm. The agency timeline reads "2023 First nearshoring office in Chișinău, Moldova 2024 Acquisition of the Top 10 German design consultancy Edenspiekermann 2025 Opening of a second nearshoring office in Skopje, North Macedonia". The careers page describes a hybrid model: "In addition to the hybrid work model (3 days per week in our offices) you can choose between different options that fit your personal life situation." Two German adverts (data analytics, QA) state three team days per week in an office, while the product team lead and engineering director adverts state 4 to 5 days onsite, with more office days in the first 12 weeks. The Skopje advert says "Hybrid working model with 2 team days per week in our office." and the careers page lists the six Guadalajara roles as onsite. On 6 November 2026 the Teamtailor board held 16 adverts: nine in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Cologne), six in Guadalajara and one in Skopje.
What is the Appsfactory team like?
The careers page says "In a comprehensive process that involved every #Appsfactorian from our working students to our founders, we defined a set of company values in 2021." The careers page lists its company values as hashtags such as #WeGetItDone, #NewIsBeautiful, #BuiltForRelevance and #FueledByPassion. The Director of Engineering advert describes an engineering team of about 240 people, and the leadership named on the Leipzig page is "Dr. Alexander Trommen CEO Dr. Rolf Kluge CTO Dr. Roman Belter COO". The Guadalajara adverts, which recruit the first team at a new office, promise "High-performing work environment with flat hierarchies and short decision-making processes", "Transparent communication through regular all-hands meetings, 1on1s, and annual feedback sessions" and "Individual growth opportunities and training programs through our Appsfactory Academy". The recruiting process on the careers page has five steps, starting with a "Talent Talk" video interview and ending with a final interview where candidates "Meet the founders & owners of Appsfactory". Two steps, a test task and trial working, are optional. Adverts across the board are for software engineering, QA, design, product, project management and management roles, with one working-student role in Leipzig.
Work-Life Balance
The adverts state the working-time policy in their benefits sections. The Skopje advert reads "Flexible working hours: The standard workweek is 40 hours. Your core hours are 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, during which you must be present. The remaining hours can be scheduled flexibly, based on your preference and team requirements." Four German adverts (product team lead, data analytics, engineering director and QA) say "Flexible Arbeitszeiten dank Kernarbeitszeiten von 09:30 bis 15:00 Uhr" (English: flexible working hours thanks to core hours from 09:30 to 15:00), and the six Guadalajara adverts list "Flexible working hours and modern digital equipment to support your daily work". The Mexican adverts give no core-hours window. The careers page adds "From 32 up to 40 hours per week, we will find a good solution for you." and two German adverts mention the possibility of part-time work with a minimum of 32 h a week. On time off, the careers page says "You can look forward to 30 days of paid-vacation per year as an #Appsfactorian." and describes a Workation model: "we offer the opportunity to work abroad for up to four weeks within our Workation model". The German adverts say employees can work abroad for up to 10 days per year. The pages do not describe how overtime is handled; the working day is flexible only around the stated core hours.
