Pros

This place is awesome! In my experience, AppD is really deliberate about who they hire, so everyone who makes the cut is super smart, kind, hardworking, and fun. Management also affords you a high level of trust, which is really important to me. My team works from home on Fridays, but I usually still come into the office because it's a great place to be. So many cool perks and fun things happening all the time. You can get a massage every week!

Cons

Unless you have the world's greatest self-control, you will gain weight due to the constant supply of snacks and free meals. Also, one of our floors is the "Cisco floor," so we have to carry two badges around for AppD and Cisco. Ugh, the struggle is real!

AppD provides an environment where you will learn to be the best version of yourself. The sales discipline is not just beneficial for your career at AppDynamics, but is a skillset you develop that will be valuable to you the rest of your career. If you want to learn to be the best at what you do, AppDynamics is the best company you could work for, hands down.

Cons

A perfect company does not exist, but there is very little I can say negatively about AppD.

Pros

Culture is absolutely one of the best reason to work here. Hard work is rewarded, and internal promotions happen very frequently. AppDynamics values fun and the unique energy everyone brings to the office. The perks are also amazing, the office favorite is the weekly massages! Catered lunch and a kitchen fully stocked with snacks and drinks help keep you fueled up during the day. Recently started an AppD bookclub to work on personal and professional development, it shows that AppD cares about you as a person and not just a company asset. Overall great company and atmosphere to work in with a great career path and the opportunity for quick promotions.

Cons

Sometimes information takes a while to trickle down and that can lead to some confusion.
