Great Overall Company to work for
Apr 1, 2023 - Sales Engineering ManagerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Part of Cisco and a great overall company to work for.
Cons
There have been a lot of changes with leadership in the last 18 months, most of which has been upper leadership. Not that it's necessarily a "con". There has been a lot of adapting

Love It
Apr 19, 2023 - FSR2 - Field Service Representative in Denver, CORecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I love being able to have a small company kind of feel with the benefits that Cisco is able to provide. There is a great opportunity to network here and grow within the company, Cisco and other products that fall under Cisco
Cons
Sometime, as usual with big companies some processes take a little longer

An amazing culture and a great place to work.
May 26, 2022 - Sales Operations Manager in Richardson, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Growing and expanding - can't say enough good things about AppDynamics. It was acquired years before I got there by Cisco Systems and Cisco didn't meddle with the culture. You coworkers genuinely care and help you. APM (Software that monitors Software) is a huge growth market and creates a high revenue position and this is Cisco's engine to bridge the gap from being a hardware focused company into being a SaaS company (at least one of them). I left because I was in the wrong role - very transactional. I traded great work-life balance for a new role that was more demanding -but that is what I wanted to advance my career. I'd recommend AppD to anybody.
Cons
There are definitely silos, and spheres of influence but the culture makes it easy to bridge. It's more not knowing who or what is responsible for what during ramp up that is the issue. But again, it's a helpful culture so if you ask enough people you get the answer. Covid and working remote didn't help it may be different not the office is back up.

Great place for a Sales Career
Jun 1, 2022 - Sr. Sales Engineer in Raleigh, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Leadership is amazing and transparent from the top down at Cisco During COVID Chuck Robbins was one of the most empathetic and strategic leaders I've ever seen. Great training if you're new to sales, learn to use MEDDPIC, Mandel, etc. Diversity and inclusion groups of all types exist and are baked into both the AppDynamics and Cisco cultures
Cons
I have only great things to say, this is a great place for a sales career. The only reason I left, was to try the startup equity lifestyle. I'll probably find myself back at Cisco one day.
