Pros

CISCO benefits are very good.

Cons

Under CISCO and new AppD leadership, the old AppD is gone. Current leadership don't qualify to lead. Most of them don't know what they are doing. Too many white males with big egos. Culture does not always focus on all employee development and engagement. No control of your career. Little to no raise or bonus unless you are in Sales.

Pros

They want their people to like working there

Cons

To much holdover of toxic work culture of previous management, no ability to execute, no desire to understand nuance in decision making, and overinflated titles in comparison to experience

Pros

The culture is one of cooperation Cisco's benefits Cisco's potential to change AppD's Growth

Cons

Since Danny W. left in August, there has been a real lack of the "human" side of the business - decisions are made and just announced without speaking to managers. Nepotism - I agree with the previous post, but wouldn't use the same strong language. Cisco bureaucracy, and the inability of the new CEO to handle it

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review while highlighting how Cisco and AppD complement each other. As part of an acquisition, sometimes it may take a while for the cultures to combine and shine. We’re always working on this, and we are proud that Cisco's CEO has made our mission “inclusive futures” and we’re making efforts to ensure that culture is felt globally.
