Pros

I've found AppDynamics to be filled with smart, outgoing people who are passionate about the company and what they do. Everyone is excited about the space we serve and the value that we bring to our customers on a daily basis.

Cons

None that I've experienced so far. Each of the areas that I would use to rate a company as an employee have been great (leadership, value provided, outlook, people...).

Pros

The recruiting team was wonderful from Day 1. I had an informative and thorough interview process and great experience meeting people and learning about the company. If you are looking for the Best Company in town, with perks and people who will make you never want to leave.... then you have arrived!

Cons

Expanding rapidly - Only a Con because it's hard to meet all the great new co-workers around you.
