Pros

I can tell within my first week that I made the correct decision in joining the AppDynamics team. I made the switch because I was looking for a great environment to continue to grow my sales skills and everyone here is absolutely in a position to help me with that. Can't wait to see what my future holds here.

Cons

I was told at every stage of the interview process that it would be a ton of work to get ramped up quickly in my sales role. That has lived up to it's word, but the work is worth it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture and work/life balance Smart and motivated engineers throughout the company Amazing benefits and perks for all employees High visibility to all work being done and a very open space so you can approach anyone regardless of seniority, position, or team What we build is used by so many of the top companies throughout the world and really brings value to other tech companies Most importantly, I love coming to work and enjoy working on my team

Cons

Communication within a team must be self initiated (just need to fight the engineering stereotype and voice your opinions). Team structure is flat (mostly due to rapid growth because of the many new hires and because the company is still young).
