Great company, bright future

Pros

Lots of bright people, amazing product, innovative leaders in APM, growing like gangbusters, great work environment, employees treated well, great company culture.

Cons

Company is growing faster than we can effectively scale. I guess that's a good problem to have but it makes life a bit chaotic. Not a lot of cross-team communication or collaboration - not intentional, but leaders need to bring teams together and break down silos. Management needs a better plan around growth. Some benefits not on par with comparable companies (e.g., no 401k match, limited vacation time).

AppDynamics Response

We are super pleased to hear that you are enjoying AppDynamics as a company overall! We are experiencing hyper-growth, so we are working with management to figure out more efficient ways to handle processes and facilitate easier communication. We do have a 401k program, and we are working to have it match eventually!

Pros

Descent benefits and perks including wellness program and free meals. Some positions are allowed to work from home and the staff is very young.

Cons

Management structure created major changes in the corporation that negatively impacted the organization original culture. The company lacks training structure and management does not care about personal development, nor it understands the meaning of customer service and/or becoming the best in class for its services.

AppDynamics Response

We are sorry to hear you feel this way about working at AppDynamics, we believe our culture is still one of the most unique parts of our company. In addition, management is always looking for ways to improve training and processes in the workplace. We also believe that we are rising to be a much sought-after product and service! Thank you for your review!
