Pros

- Incredible training and support. So long as you are willing to work hard, they will support you every step of the way. You'll notice growth even within the interview process. - Unrivalled compensation and benefits. - True meritocracy, the more you put in the more you get out, with constant incentives motivating you to reach your professional and personal goals. - Genuinely inspiring leadership. Management leads by example and continually trains and develops you. - Brilliant social atmosphere - regular work socials and nights out, training in San Francisco, fiscal year kick off trips to Vegas and big incentives.

Cons

- The hours are long, and there's no excuses. Once you're settled and have business coming in you can be more flexible, but be prepared for 15 hour days and logging on at weekends for the first few months. - Initial onboarding could be more structured, however this is actively being developed, ready to roll out for new starters.

Pros

Overall positive work environment. New office is good. Freebies like lunch, snacks etc

Cons

Decision making is SF heavy, it is improving though. Behind the technology curve, there is a resistance to improve also. Focus on individual career growth in Bengaluru is lacking.

AppDynamics Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We agree, the new office in India looks great, and free lunch and unlimited snacks are an awesome perk too. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing some pain points. I encourage you, if you are comfortable doing so, to reach out directly to HR with your concerns, or leave your feedback on the Employee Engagement survey. We rely on feedback to maintain and, when necessary, improve upon the overall AppDynamo experience.
