AppDirect Reviews

Pros

AppDirect is a very flexible work from the home situation during covid and even before, depending on the manager. There are a few good people there and they put a lot of effort into building a virtual employee experience. Often we had local and global all hands.

Cons

- Leadership often changes GTM strategies, which feels like 3-4 times a year. - Not truly a B2B enterprise software company, more of a software reseller trying to focus on the gross merchandise value (GMV) - Equity interest is low in the secondary market as the company is no longer hyper-growth and is now in debt financing rounds. - Top Talent and leadership have been leaving. Recruiting top talent is hard. - Shifted hiring to less talented regions (not SF) and the quality of new hires is subpar. - leaders that are left lack top tier tech experience and leadership - No WFM or adjusted Covid benefits ( no more in-office snacks or meals) - Still no 401K match- this is a 10 year + old company...

Pros

Culture is incredible. You won’t find one person at AD that isn’t a respectful and kind individual.

Cons

The product is truly ahead of its time. experience in tech won’t help you here - you learn something new everyday. This can be overwhelming for some, but everyone at the company is extremely intelligent.

Pros

The diverse global culture and shared values Fun activities including global talent show, olympics, and family day Leadership commitment to employees well-being and investment in peak performance and mental health awareness Mission driven business helping businesses transform

Cons

Like other tech companies working remote through July 2021

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.
