We are sad to hear that you feel this way. At AppDynamics, we have yearly performance reviews where you can critique your managers, and they exchange feedback with you on your performance as well. This is definitely a time to discuss any pressing concerns. Managers are also available for 1:1 meetings in which you can talk to them about anything from career growth and development, projects to team chemistry and more! We are strong believers that each AppDynamo should go after what they want and speak up. Ask for what you want and where you want to be, and we'll give you the resources to get you there!

Pros

The product is good, and it's possible to make your number. The pay is above industry average, and the expense policy is laid back. The sales methodology, MEDDIC, really works. If you embrace it, you will become a better sales person

Cons

The truth is - it's not worth joining AppDynamics, especially if you are UK based. The culture is nothing short of horrendous, borderline abusive. Management uses fear tactics on a daily basis, bullying employees to the point of burn-out. There is a high degree of favouritism, and the good accounts are selectively given to the clique. Forget about work life balance, really. No matter how resilient you think you are - nearly no one lasts for over 2 years. If you want to keep your sanity, avoid AppDynamics.

As part of an acquisition, sometimes it may take a while for the cultures to combine and shine. We’re always working on this, and we are proud that our CEO has made our mission “inclusive futures” and we’re making efforts to ensure that culture is felt globally.

Pros

Decent benefits as Cisco benefits kick in. WFH culture is good

Cons

Zero Product innovation. Lately, company culture has gone south. Most of the people have lost hope in the company and its leadership as it has become very political No one is in the company for the long haul.
