The best IT company to work for

Pros

As far as am concern, AppDynamics is by far the best IT company have ever work for in the last 11 years of my professional career. The atmosphere is fantastic especially for new employees, you are being trusted to do what you have been employed to do without anyone looking over your shoulder. The management concept is superb, reachable and friendly to everyone. AppDynamics is a place where you can grow with the company and become what you dream to be. What else are you looking for?

Cons

For me, I can't fault this company at all, not even when I have to compare it with other IT companies.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture and work/life balance Smart and motivated engineers throughout the company Amazing benefits and perks for all employees High visibility to all work being done and a very open space so you can approach anyone regardless of seniority, position, or team What we build is used by so many of the top companies throughout the world and really brings value to other tech companies Most importantly, I love coming to work and enjoy working on my team

Cons

Communication within a team must be self initiated (just need to fight the engineering stereotype and voice your opinions). Team structure is flat (mostly due to rapid growth because of the many new hires and because the company is still young).
