AppDynamics reviews

Only at AppDynamics will a manager with absolutely NO management experience and multiple HR complaints against him, get promoted to Director. The management system at AppDynamics is a joke and plays basically on favoritism. They promote people to managers that have no business managing people and have absolutely no experience. If you want to grow in your role, you are roadblocked because god forbid you have more experience or certifications than your manager. They are not interested in letting people take initiatives or come up with ideas and they are constantly shutting down any conversation as a "miscommunication in role". Managers are clueless and like to push their weight around based on their title and nothing else. Just because you were a good analyst and amazing at Salesforce doesn't mean you should have a team under you. The fact that someone with HR complaints against him and no management experience got promoted to Director says a lot about the company.

Very poor management culture. Most managers lack basic communication skills, no investment in employee development, no feedback of any kind and HR haven't taken any steps towards improving this culture. Work is good in some teams, but most don't have any quality work which is understandable since the product has matured and product management seems to have run out of ideas on new features to add. Senior management is hypocritical.
