AppDynamics Reviews

Pros

Of course things vary from team to team, but in my experience, I have been given so much opportunity to try new things and succeed (and fail) in a safe environment. I feel recognized for the work I do and I feel appreciated. There is always work to be done, which means opportunity and growth. I am grateful for the personal and professional development trainings offered regularly. Also, AppDynamos are seriously the best people I have ever worked with. Working with a team that is motivated, smart, funny, care, and are HUMAN makes a big difference in staying excited to come into work.

Advice to Management

Keep listening to employees.
Continue to protect the AppD culture and integrate with Cisco only where it is beneficial for us.
Continue to manage politics.
Build a gym in SF!

Pros

I just joined about 3 months ago and am loving it so far. The teams are really supportive and collaborative. I feel like I get good recognition, direction, and feedback. The culture is awesome, one of the best I've ever had! You're treated with maturity, respect, and autonomy. The work is engaging, and you're able to work on things outside your scope. I've been able to pick up things I've never done with around 7 years exp. I love that we're at a phase where the teams are still small, but there's revenue / encouragement to branch into new initiatives. So far, I've been able to learn a lot and have a supportive system to do so.

Advice to Management

As we scale, make sure we're able to have the same contributions. Right now it's still very interesting work, and it doesn't seem like there's too much red tape. I would hate to see that change as we become larger.

Pros

-Challenging work
-Excellent comp and benefits
-Fun culture
-Growth opportunity

Pros

The people are fantastic - managers that care about your growth and team members that are supportive.

Advice to Management

Continue being open and transparent with the company!

Pros

Employees have the chance to provide input and build on a solid foundation of culture, process and achievement. The leadership from the CEO down seems genuinely invested in creating a great employee experience.

Pros

- The employee centric focus of AppD is in a league of it's own. They invest aggressively not only financially, but also in the development of their employees. If you are looking for a company you can provide immediate impact, create your career path, make good money, and have fun doing it, this is your place!

Advice to Management

Keep being focused on the development of your employees, the award winning culture, and being a leader.

Pros

#1 our culture and work life balance. Every single day I love coming to work because of the people I am surrounded by. We appreciate working hard, but we invest on playing hard too. We also value diversity and inclusiveness, and are transparent that we need to do better, and are developing programs and ERGs to ensure we continue to be better. I also appreciate getting breakfast every Monday morning, it's a great way to kick off our week!

Advice to Management

Continue with what you're doing! Definitely see the vision coming to fruition which is exciting. We have some growing pains, but what company doesn't?

Pros

-Great work life balance, opportunities for WFH / remote
-Challenging, still fairly small teams allowing for opportunities to have impact internally and externally
-Great culture - Friendly and collaborative teams
-Encouraging Leadership - No micromanagement, I feel valued in my role

Advice to Management

Keep it up. Truly love coming into work and the amazing teams I get to work alongside. Don't lower the bar.

Pros

Since working at AppD, I've had great opportunities to challenge myself in many areas. These challenges have contributed greatly to my career and growth as an individual. Insider tip, don't wait for opportunities. Rather, communicate your desired path with your manager, create a plan, share results and deliver.

Advice to Management

Continue to listen and act on the feedback. Must share/communicate action items and results.

Pros

Industry leading technology, intelligent and passionate colleagues, great culture, challenging work, competitive pay and benefits.
