Pros

Amazing culture, fantastic products and Sales professionals are rewarded incredibly well.

Cons

Not necessarily a "con" but in order to be successful here, you have to want to work hard. You WILL be rewarded if you put in the effort daily, but it all comes down to what you put into it.

AppDynamics Response

We are thrilled that you are enjoying the culture here at AppDynamics! What you get out is what you put in, and we reward as such. Glad to have you on the team!

Pros

A great place to learn about technology (software)! As well as other aspects of Business - you'll get a chance to learn from the best in the IT industry whether it's internally at AppDynamics or our customers.

Cons

It's a rewarding role because it's hard work - it's hard work because there's so much potential for what we offer to the market even just getting to everyone is a challenge! It's not a place for drifters!
