AppDynamics reviews

This a company that's being anchored by the sales team and CRO organization. Product Management, Marketing, Support, HR, and Operations are not valued. When the founder left, several engineers left as well which led to lack of innovation. The company produces new functionality that's driven by Gartner or a competition. The company is now comfortable having access to Cisco capital and feels that product management isn't a priority. What started off as a strong product is slowly declining. Many competitors have begun to catch up or surpass AppDynamics. The sales organization lacks diversity and received the most perks. The current CEO is not focused on new product development but more so how to sell as much software as possible. Sales compensation is paid out 6 months later and is often incorrect even with the new automated system. Sales organization receives the majority of perks and funding to party and hold meaningless offsites.

Work can be frustrating with not much scope at least if you are a beginner and even tho there is emphasis on transparency, people can get shot down and not everything is revealed at the time of hiring. Sometimes work can be donkey work. Not too much respect given to everyone and there are some in the company who think they are above everyone and can be arrogant and sometimes unhelpful. Employees shift occurs often since this is a mid sized start up and that goes to show they can't keep talent even if they were paid high. There aren't too many employee benefits except for the free food and drinks. Some people get hired out of desperation to fill the gaps.
