Pros

Great location and office. A lot of smart people to learn from and grow. Very, very good perks and benefits. Fast, energetic and a relatively young workforce.

Cons

The open workspace may tend to be counter productive for some. Growing very rapidly and nobody will have the time to monitor or guide you continuously. A little more structure would probably be beneficial, but that may come as the company grows bigger.

AppDynamics Response

Glad to hear that you are liking what we have to offer our employees at AppDynamics. We feel our open office space fosters a welcoming environment, and we are constantly seeking ways to add more structure and efficiency to our processes. Thank you for your review!
