Downhill after Cisco acquisition and mass exodus of leadership in 2019

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can stay under the radar if you do the bare minimum and aren't ambitious or want to make a difference. Great philanthropy and giving back programs and initiatives.

Cons

You won't like it or survive if you question leadership or don't go with the flow. People under performing or not performing aren't dealt with so it's frustrating to those who have high expectations and standards. Leadership is mostly all talk but don't follow through in action, including CEO of Cisco.

AppDynamics Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your personal experience. There is no doubt that acquisitions are hard, but we’re committed to seeing that every effort is being made to combine what makes AppD special with what makes Cisco special. This will, of course, take time as we adjust, learn, and grow together. We have recently rolled out leadership trainings for all global people managers and encourage employees to share concerns and feedback internally with our leadership.
