Pros

Extremely competitive benefits and perks Startup culture with the security of an enterprise Management that cares for your well being and career progress A transparent approach to management

Cons

As with any sales organizations, the negatives will only be apparent when one can't keep up with the pace and expectations. Everyone is held accountable for their responsibilities. So in short, there really isn't any "cons" that isn't in your control. The best part is the entire team is very supportive and wants to see everyone succeed!

Business Outlook

Pros

-Business is very strong. It is enjoying superb growth ahead of its competitors such as Dynatrace and NewRelic. - Being part of Cisco certainly is beneficial to employees. Cisco ranked #6 on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list. It not only provides benefits like 5 days Volunteer Day Off, generous 401k match and ESPP program, also provides all kinds of training for professional growth. The structured training cannot be matched by any startup company. - Yet AppDynamics keeps its culture of a startup, plus the Perks of drinks, snacks, massage, etc

Cons

- As the company tries to remain agile, its business direction can shift very quickly and frequently. Some growing pains here and there. People can get frustrated with the re-orgs, if they don't understand the why behind it. But for some, there might be opportunities in chaos.
