Poor Management and Lack of product innovation

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good snack bar WFH culture Basic bay area tech goodies

Cons

Complete lack of product innovation. All sales made is based on massive sales machinery build without it it be hard product to sell as in last 3 year others have caught up. May be cause management was busy playing office politics Moral with high achievers is low. Most of them are looking for new jobs or left already. The ones around are content to do bare minimum . A company which was such a great product company is now left to an avg product . There is certainly lack in product management and overall leadership is weak .

AppDynamics Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We agree that AppDynamics has great unlimited snacks, awesome tech goodies and generous WFH flexibility. Those are some of our favorite perks as well, but it’s concerning to hear your feedback on employee morale and product innovation. If you feel comfortable doing so, I encourage you to reach out to HR or leave feedback on your Employee Engagement survey to address your concerns in more detail. Thank you.

We are sad to hear that you feel this way. At AppDynamics, we have yearly performance reviews where you can critique your managers, and they exchange feedback with you on your performance as well. This is definitely a time to discuss any pressing concerns. Managers are also available for 1:1 meetings in which you can talk to them about anything from career growth and development, projects to team chemistry and more! We are strong believers that each AppDynamo should go after what they want and speak up. Ask for what you want and where you want to be, and we'll give you the resources to get you there!
