Pros

Working with super smart and inspiring people every day has really helped me to learn quickly plus develop my career. I love the fast pace, the constant challenges and that no two days are the same. There's a culture of commitment to excellence and never being average no matter what role you have here. Everyone in the team has had to earn the right to get a job here and everyone is highly motivated to always achieve. This makes me really proud to be part of the team.

Cons

AppD life isn't a 9-5, it can sometimes be challenging to balance everything that needs to be done.

Pros

The leadership at AppDynamics is first class. It led the business from a value of $100m to $3.7bn in around 4 years. This is pretty astounding and a testament to the way the leadership leads the company. If you are willing to be curious, work hard and invest in your career then the company will wholeheartedly invest in you. Recognition of the efforts and achievements of people is missing in so many businesses yet is core to AppD's values and its success. AppD is also forward thinking in terms of flexible working and actually follows through on allowing you to work where and when you want providing things get done.

Cons
