Pros

AppDynamics has afforded me the opportunity to be promoted twice in 3 years, while making the most money in my entire sales career, which is rare as a leader. Our execs get behind us, the product works, and Cisco has not negatively impacted us in any way. AppDynamics consistently invests in our employees, and we are regularly receiving coaching, training, and development. As we have grown, promotions have become a quarterly thing.

Cons

There are no days off...when customers want your product, you don't get alot of time off.

Pros

I have had the opportunity to work in many organizations throughout my career and have been very blessed with some amazing opportunities. With that being said, there are very few companies where you can say that you are working with the best, have an amazing set of solutions to sell, and that every day you learn and are pushed to the next level by your peers. I had that experience at Mercury Interactive and when I left I once felt that I would be spending the rest of my career searching for that again. Until I found AppDynamics. AppDynamics is truly a special place with a team atmosphere and has some of the best of the best people and solutions you will ever work with. I have never worked harder, learned more, or had more success than I have here. We have a world class sales process that if followed properly proves to our customers the amazing value of our solutions and drives that value after the sale to assure satisfaction and growth of the solution and its usage. We have an excellent engineering and product management staff that focuses on delivering high quality solutions that customers need. Even Cisco's acquisition of AppDynamics, which I was concerned could quickly become a negative, has actually turned into a great positive. Their tendency to provide autonomy to AppDynamics while still giving us the warm hug and support of a huge corporate giant has been well... great!

Cons

From a cultural perspective I always chafed at tendency for many especially in the corporate office to want o sugar coat everything. When I initially joined it wasn't appropriate to point out that we weren't perfect and that we had many things to improve. With many changes at the top including the hiring of David Wadhwani that seems to have changed and we are much more accepting of our faults. I'm very proud to see AppDynamics mature as an organization and realize that there was never any magical pixie dust making us great, it was and is great people and hard work that got us where we are and where we will go.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a thoughtful review. We’re thrilled you’ve had such a positive experience at AppDynamics throughout the years, including the transitional period after the acquisition by Cisco. We're fortunate to have many fantastic leaders here, including David Wadhwani, who have helped transform us into the mature company we are today. Thanks for being part of the AppDynamics family!

Pros

If you are in sales and you want to push yourself to see how good you can be then this is the place for you. A game-changing sales process, market-leading product and relentless drive for success makes AppD unique. The senior management team are obsessed with developing their teams to ensure individuals are the best they can be and they deliver incredible results consistently. The attention to detail is second to none and the results speak for themselves.

Cons

If you don't want to work hard, don't want to be pushed or can't deal with pressure then this is not the place for you.
