      Salespeople beware

      Pros

      None - this is the worst sales job

      Cons

      Extreme micro management and process / data entry. If you’re an above average sales person, you will hate working here. There is no work/life balance... you’ll be expected to work on the weekends (data entry and receive multiple emails with actions on a Sunday as an example) Managers manage down and have no idea how to manage up. Monkeys (managers) and robots (salespeople). Product is not easy to sell, it’s hard to implement and very expensive, so if customers don’t have a consistent or huge application issue that impacts their business, they will not buy. This is a luck of the draw type of situation. Your territory may not have orgs with perceived big application issues and you will make no money while being micromanaged. Very stressful job Cisco has taken over comp plans, so much harder to make money and they are over hiring so smaller territories. The wave has crashed

      We’re sincerely sorry about your experience at AppDynamics. We strive to provide a positive workplace culture for all, but it sounds like that wasn’t your experience. Although the majority of feedback from our employees is very positive, it seems like it wasn’t the right culture fit for you. Your feedback will be sent to senior management, as we're always looking for ways to be better. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors.

      Poor management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work flexibility, snacks and some nice people

      Cons

      Poor leadership, instead of fixing core issues they are going after each issue one by one. Does not lead by example, does not lead meetings when they manage the team. Ask others to lead and just follows what others say.

      Thanks for your review. Your comments about our nice people, plentiful office snacks, and flexible work policy are spot on! These are some of our favorite day-to-day perks as well. We've shared your thoughts regarding team leadership with the People@AppD management team. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain and, when necessary, improve upon the overall AppDynamo experience.

      Worst place with Worst attitude

      Pros

      Salary and free food. Good people at low level

      Cons

      Company doesnt have vision to grow at all. They are specialist in ruining the career of their employees. No processes at all. I have worked in multi billion dollar organizations and joined this one because they promised lot of things. But when I joined I realized everything is mess. Without any reason they fire people with 1 day notice and then you have to send tonnes of e-mail to know the reason. The only answer is "Management decision". If you want to destroy your life - personally and professionally then join this company. There is racism attitude also for emerging countries.

      We are sorry to hear you had this experience with our company. We believe that our leaders do have a vision to make strides and expand, and this can be backed by our rapid growth as a company overall. We also are constantly trying to find ways to make processes move and work as efficiently as possible. Sorry to see you go!
