Pros

- Surrounded by highly intelligent and motivated people. - Market leading product - There is a big focus on personal development - Earning potential very good - The leadership is abrasive but in their own way they do care about developing people

Cons

- AppD have a set, very specific sales process and way of doing things. It is enforced by a set, very specific, abrasive style of management. It can feel a little robotic. Many swear by the process and it clearly has transformed a certain type of person for the better. For others it’s stifling, limiting and doesn’t work at all. You’ve got to think very carefully about what type of working / management style you are looking for and will thrive under before joining. It has nothing to do with how driven, ambitious or smart you are, rather the question you should ask yourself is how do you like to learn? - The sales team in particular is in a state of perma-stress. - The EMEA organisation is a cult, cast in the personal image of the GM - people swear an unquestioning loyalty and obedience regardless of what goes on. - Onboarding is a mess

Pros

The culture and people are amazing. Everyone is extremely willing to take time out of their day to help you. Everyone really wants to grow together. I have never been in a more collaborative company. The culture is very work hard, play hard and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind, besides the typical growing pains. Company is adjusting to make a more public transition, and keep up with the rapid rate of new employees. There are no real cons though.

Thank you for your review of the company! We are growing very quickly as a company overall, and we are so thrilled that our employees are so willing to grow and learn together. With such fast-paced growth, we do expect growing pains, and we try our hardest to make everything as transparent as possible.

Pros

Kickass core product, still the best in the class. Some really good engineers. Sales and marketing model is good too.

Cons

HR is one of the worst I have seen. Caution for all employees, do not fall for their "confidential upper management feedback" system. Rookie mid management, it is disheartening to see that senior management like "Yes-men" and opportunities are offered to undeserving fellows who have absolutely no idea how to manage people.
