AppDynamics reviews

Great culture on paper, BUT in practice was one of the most toxic places I’ve ever worked. Definitely a boys club…if you were minority of any kind (person of color or female) you were treated as less than and had to work twice as hard for any promotions. New female managers were the most toxic of all…even going as far as to sabotage multiple people’s promotions simply due to personal judgements and not performance or merit. Managers bad talked reps behind backs and had false sense of superiority for no reason. All the good managers were treated like crap and left. The only people left were unprofessional at best. The talent pool there kept shrinking when I was there, and the only people that got promoted were only promoted because they were all that was left.

- Almost all original directors are gone leaving the company in the hands of people whom don't have any qualifications in an executive level role - Attrition has never been higher - Product is monolithic and slow to adapt compared to competitors - Cisco is clamping down on the company and will completely run the show soon. The turtle-pace of Cisco will be the new normal - Annual layoffs will become a thing now at AppD - Haven't seen a well-run department yet. There are so many meetings and different misalignments that nothing gets done. Or if something gets done, it gets changed immediately after
