      Declining Rapidly

      Sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Used to be an excellent company to work for with leading tech. Cisco still seems to be pumping money into the company. Previously excellent, proven, sales process which continues to be used as a model at other companies - however, this is being eroded by new leadership.

      Cons

      Declined rapidly over the last 12 months. - Lost lots of talent - Weak leadership (old leaders leave and new leaders are put in place by Cisco) - No longer leading tech - huge tech debt which has consumed years of dev time, with little to show for it. - Missed the boat on monitoring the cloud - playing catch up since. - Toxic/lazy staff retained at the expense of hard workers.

      Downhill after Cisco acquisition and mass exodus of leadership in 2019

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can stay under the radar if you do the bare minimum and aren't ambitious or want to make a difference. Great philanthropy and giving back programs and initiatives.

      Cons

      You won't like it or survive if you question leadership or don't go with the flow. People under performing or not performing aren't dealt with so it's frustrating to those who have high expectations and standards. Leadership is mostly all talk but don't follow through in action, including CEO of Cisco.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your personal experience. There is no doubt that acquisitions are hard, but we’re committed to seeing that every effort is being made to combine what makes AppD special with what makes Cisco special. This will, of course, take time as we adjust, learn, and grow together. We have recently rolled out leadership trainings for all global people managers and encourage employees to share concerns and feedback internally with our leadership.

      Great place for growth!

      Pros

      AppD has market-leading technology with a "start-up feel" backed by the investment and security of Cisco. We are expanding so rapidly that there is tons of room for growth, personally, professionally and financially. Whether you are looking to take on a larger scoped individual contributor role or want to grow your leadership career, there is opportunity for anyone who's passionate and willing to run hard and challenge themselves.

      Cons

      We've experienced quite a bit of attrition over the past 12 months due to a perception that Cisco doesn't know "what to do with AppD". I can't blame my colleagues for chasing new opportunities but I'm much more optimistic about our future with Cisco. This attrition has caused some heartburn and uncertainty (rightfully so). Thankfully, Cisco and AppD executive leadership has addressed this head on with increased investments (R&D, hiring, increased comp packages).
