Pros

Salary and free food. Good people at low level

Cons

Company doesnt have vision to grow at all. They are specialist in ruining the career of their employees. No processes at all. I have worked in multi billion dollar organizations and joined this one because they promised lot of things. But when I joined I realized everything is mess. Without any reason they fire people with 1 day notice and then you have to send tonnes of e-mail to know the reason. The only answer is "Management decision". If you want to destroy your life - personally and professionally then join this company. There is racism attitude also for emerging countries.

AppDynamics Response

We are sorry to hear you had this experience with our company. We believe that our leaders do have a vision to make strides and expand, and this can be backed by our rapid growth as a company overall. We also are constantly trying to find ways to make processes move and work as efficiently as possible. Sorry to see you go!
