AppDirect Reviews

Pros

// Mentorship - I went from minimal sales experience to setting up deals with some of the largest enterprise companies in the world. AppDirect has also given me a deep understanding of industries like ISV, Manufacturing, MSP/VAR, FinServ, Telco, etc. // View - 360 unobstructed view of San Francisco from the 25th floor (I’m writing this while looking at the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz) // Friends - I couldn’t wish for a more supportive and friendly work environment, even senior leadership has taken the time to get to know me personally // Flexibility - I’m given the freedom to take daily gym breaks and work from home when needed // Career Development - I get ~$,1500/yr to go to events, take classes, buy books, etc. as well as unlimited free access to Udemy courses // Salary - they pay is above market average (with an uncapped quota + accelerators) with significant career growth opportunities, 401K, fully covered health/dental // Enablement - I’d like to think we are the most enabled SDR team out there...AppDirect has invested in giving us world-class sales tools and marketing collateral, and hands-on training (making my job easier) // Andddd yes there’s free lunch every day and all the snacks/drinks you could want

Cons

We've had some turnover, but that's the nature of the industry. The reality is that we're getting invaluable experience.

Pros

Good view Salad lunch every day Hot lunch on Friday The teams are still trying their hardest and are generally great Plenty of work to do Healthcare is decent only if you have no dependents.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive for any role in SF. The only promotions are for sycophants or those that threaten to leave after working themselves to death.There is no meritocracy at AppDirect. The leadership team does not provide any leadership. Management does not know how to coach their teams or make improvements for their teams. Leadership could not tell you what success for the company is. All the extra work from the lay offs last year is still with the remaining employees but with no increase in pay. HR does not take action on yearly feedback survey.

Pros

Location, Office views, Remote Work, Snacks, Friday Lunch

Cons

Poor Management Weak Leadership Compensation not competitive with the market HR team is trying to improve things by letting people know things are improving. Basically doing nothing and just saying for the sake of it. Smart people not appreciated Sycophants promoted Lack of transparency No clear direction for success Lack of managers and leaders who are coaches. Newbies who are sycophants are promoted to managerial positions.
