Pros

Lots of bright people, amazing product, innovative leaders in APM, growing like gangbusters, great work environment, employees treated well, great company culture.

Cons

Company is growing faster than we can effectively scale. I guess that's a good problem to have but it makes life a bit chaotic. Not a lot of cross-team communication or collaboration - not intentional, but leaders need to bring teams together and break down silos. Management needs a better plan around growth. Some benefits not on par with comparable companies (e.g., no 401k match, limited vacation time).

AppDynamics Response

We are super pleased to hear that you are enjoying AppDynamics as a company overall! We are experiencing hyper-growth, so we are working with management to figure out more efficient ways to handle processes and facilitate easier communication. We do have a 401k program, and we are working to have it match eventually!
