At AppDynamics, we believe that the growth and development of a diverse employee community fosters innovation and enhances our competitive position with broader perspectives.
We at AppDynamics know that diverse teams drive the best innovations and business impact. We are an inclusive and collaborative culture who strive for leadership in attracting, retaining, and developing women in the workplace.
Here are some of the ways we invest in Women@AppD:
It is the inclusive culture created by everyone collaborating together that results in the greatest success. With these truths in mind, we strive to be a leader in attracting, retaining and developing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, questioning workers and their allies, and to foster a safe and inclusive working environment.
Here are some of the ways we invest in Pride@AppD
We’re proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We appreciate and celebrate differences, and believe a diverse workforce benefits our employees, products and customers.
As a new graduate or intern at AppDynamics, you won’t be fetching any coffee, but you will be expected to dive into our codebase and make an impact starting from your very first day. This is the time to practice your skills, solve interesting technical challenges and work on cool products that millions of people actually use. You will be given the responsibility to work on critical projects, and build features from scratch and guess what, you get to determine all the architectural details on your own, meaning that you have the freedom to try what you want!
At AppD, you will get a lot of creative space to try things your way, with our world-class mentors right there to guide you. You get to be around experienced individuals who are really good at their craft -- they aren’t just smart people with technical expertise, they understand the process of how software gets built and know how to manage the process so you learn to build in the right way.
We have opportunities for new grads and interns in our various departments and engineering teams. Our open culture invites you to find the right spot where your passion and skills can come together. Explore our openings and find your perfect fit on our team.
For technical roles, our University Recruitment season and interview processes start in September. We usually fill most of our positions (full time and intern) by the end of December. Our interview process consists of:
For non technical roles, we start on campus recruitment in January and fill the majority of roles by March. The interview process, location of role, and timeline vary from team to team.

I have been working at AppDynamics full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
AppD has market-leading technology with a "start-up feel" backed by the investment and security of Cisco.
We are expanding so rapidly that there is tons of room for growth, personally, professionally and financially. Whether you are looking to take on a larger scoped individual contributor role or want to grow your leadership career, there is opportunity for anyone who's passionate and willing to run hard and challenge themselves.
Cons
We've experienced quite a bit of attrition over the past 12 months due to a perception that Cisco doesn't know "what to do with AppD". I can't blame my colleagues for chasing new opportunities but I'm much more optimistic about our future with Cisco. This attrition has caused some heartburn and uncertainty (rightfully so). Thankfully, Cisco and AppD executive leadership has addressed this head on with increased investments (R&D, hiring, increased comp packages).
Advice to Management
Make sure we don't lose the culture that made AppD the rocket ship we've been over the past 5+ years. At the same time, make sure we're leveraging Cisco (scale, integrations, etc.) where it makes sense.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppDynamics (San Francisco, CA) in March 2019.
Interview
Initial call with a recruiter, she was wonderful, caring and easy to work with. I then had a phone interview with who would be my direct for about 30ish minutes. Very casual chat. Then I came in for an in-person where I met I think 5 different people from various teams.
