Pros

Great place to work. Leadership is in-tune with employees and marketplace. Product is ever evolving and definitely a leader in the space. Individuals are valued and your opinion is welcomed. Very agile -when things need to change it happens quickly.

Cons

Some politics as any place has. Need a bit healthier food in the kitchens but most is good.

The next great software company, no. Probably the next BMC:

Business Outlook

Pros

-On par with typical SaaS earnings -Great place to learn how to cold call

Cons

-Poor/Non-Existent people management -Exlusively KPI driven (KPIs developed by mature businesses from a different era) -Not at all a Silicon Valley culture. Basically like working for BMC (a very old, very un-silicon valley software company) -Culture of intimidation from the Veep downwards -Severe cronyism as everyone followed Veep from BMC -Long work hours -No social balance. You are there to make calls, bring in deals and they pay you. Any kind of enjoyment/banter is looked as taking your eye off the ball -Culture is viewed as people who work excessively hard and put AppD above all else. Consistently.
