Fast-paced, exciting place to work

Pros

Really fast-paced, exciting place to work. Lots of great, super talented people. Plenty of opportunities for advancement. We get a fair amount of independence. If someone has an idea, they can run with it and make it happen.

Cons

The fast pace isn't for everyone. You have to be careful not to take on too much and burn out. Also, the company as a whole is a little spoiled by success. We need to remember to celebrate our accomplishments and enjoy the ride.

Pros

I've only been with AppD for a short time, but have been at a few start-ups previously, and I can honestly say this company is superior to any company I've worked at before. Both the caliber of my co-workers, and the open, collaborative environment is truly amazing. The culture is cultivated from from the top down, and the tremendous growth potential makes AppD a great place if your looking for an engaging career.

Cons

I think my tenure prevents me from having much to offer for cons.

Pros

Top-notch employees and management and a solid business plan. AppDynamics has had great growth so far and all indications are that it will dominate its market. Good, casual work environment - people work hard but it's no sweat-shop.

Cons

The company is still experiencing growing pains and is sometimes disorganized. The product is fundamentally excellent but some bugs get through.
