Pros

The impact that my daily work has on the success of the company and the way how the company recognize my results is exceptional! Great Lifetime experience that makes me feel like being part of something great. Product, Sales Process and Leadership Team are unique in the industry.

Cons

Not really, I'm more than happy here. But our ongoing hyper growth phase requires that we ALL adapt quick to future challenges. Continuous delivery is a "must have" attitude and concept for staying successful during change. Make sure we keep that concept alive by driving innovation for People, Process and Technology!

AppDynamics Response

We are thrilled to hear that your work has an impact on the growth and success of our company. It's a great feeling to see the results of all the hard work you put in! With our hyper-growth, it is good to have a positive and "can do" attitude, as the sky is the limit for us!

Pros

I love the work environment that AppDynamics provides. It allows employees to both explore projects that interest them and still take professional risks.

Cons

I think the growth of the company is so rapid that the proper recruiting and training of new personnel is lacking.

AppDynamics Response

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, our company encourages our employees to take on tasks and projects that genuinely interest them! We do try to provide as much transparency and communication between, not only individuals, but as teams as a whole. We encourage an open-door policy!

Pros

A lot of smart, and passionate people. Great product, and strong brand in APM. Working at AppDynamics in a word is fast pace and fun, just the way I like it. I love working remote, and the management style.

Cons

None - the small ones I can think of already have action plans in place like investing more into specialist roles, great competitive intelligence, moving the org to respond to the market are all things I would have listed 3-4 months ago, they have solid plans and activities addressing concerns in real time.

AppDynamics Response

We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the people, the culture at AppDynamics, as well as the product itself! Whenever we see a problem, we try to address it right away. Glad to have you on the team!
