We're sorry to see that you have moved on, but excited for your new endeavors! As we scale, there will be, without a doubt, growing pains. As much as we try to keep our start up within a start up culture, there has to be changes to adapt to our growth. We are positive those small obstacles will help shape our company and bring AppDynamics to our fullest potential!

Pros

The onboading process was very good. Great, early communication about my first day, as well as a very efficient boarding morning.

Cons

AppDynamics doesn't have 401K matching yet.

Thank you for taking the time to review the company! Our onboarding processes are very new-hire focused. We want to make sure you are transitioning into the company with ease and with open communication. As far as 401K, we do have a program but are working to have it match!

Pros

Great technology, definitely very useful. Ability to spread out across various tech stacks. My peers are all quite talented, not to mention fun to work with. Lots of excellent large customers with weighty names to work with. Good mix of young people and experienced professionals. A startup that is definitely attracting talent. I work remotely, as do many people in professional services, and I am largely left alone to do my job well, which works for me.

Cons

Tech stack is spreading kind of wide, leaving the core APM a bit behind. The server side of the platform is way too monolithic still which is causing trouble at biggest accounts - but it's being worked on. I hear of turf battles in engineering, although being remote I am largely insulated from them The PM organization is really weak and is not hiring the right kind of talent - we need technology-strong PMs but get folks who are only Excel/PowerPoint pushers. My references to strong tech PMs went unread/uncontacted Petty, but no reimbursement for home office internet is a first for me in working remotely for last 15 years. Apparently I get a Regis office and expense that, but not the internet?
