San Francisco, CA

Current Employee – been working at AppDynamics full-time for less than a year

ProsThere is a decent culture, good product, has lots of potential. There is work fun balance and provides some nice equipment. Good codebase. Some employees and mgmt are friendly.

ConsWork can be frustrating with not much scope at least if you are a beginner and even tho there is emphasis on transparency, people can get shot down and not everything is revealed at the time of hiring. Sometimes work can be donkey work. Not too much respect given to everyone and there are some in the company who think they are above everyone and can be arrogant and sometimes unhelpful. Employees shift occurs often since this is a mid sized start up and that goes to show they can't keep talent even if they were paid high. There aren't too many employee benefits except for the free food and drinks. Some people get hired out of desperation to fill the gaps.

Advice to Senior ManagementNeed to provide employee benefits that actually matter. Provide better salaries since it is california.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at AppDynamics

ProsFast paced startup, with a great management team and tons of opportunity to grow. It's a place where if you are smart and work hard, you can really make an impact.

ConsThings are moving fast and changing frequently, so if you are resistant to change or unable to handle ambiguity, you will suffer.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep up the good work, and focus on core product and not get spread too thin trying to develop products for other areas.
