Pros

Very competitive and fast growing APM market

Cons

Political hell, some department are dysfunctional, what you do depends on who you know, sweet if you are a ass-kisser and are accepted by the "small club". Be cautious about the faked five start comments, some constructive comments by my ex-colleagues disappeared mysteriously!

Pros

It's a mirage. The only pro is that some of the people are genuinely nice and helpful and the office is great.

Cons

Only at AppDynamics will a manager with absolutely NO management experience and multiple HR complaints against him, get promoted to Director. The management system at AppDynamics is a joke and plays basically on favoritism. They promote people to managers that have no business managing people and have absolutely no experience. If you want to grow in your role, you are roadblocked because god forbid you have more experience or certifications than your manager. They are not interested in letting people take initiatives or come up with ideas and they are constantly shutting down any conversation as a "miscommunication in role". Managers are clueless and like to push their weight around based on their title and nothing else. Just because you were a good analyst and amazing at Salesforce doesn't mean you should have a team under you. The fact that someone with HR complaints against him and no management experience got promoted to Director says a lot about the company.

Thank you for your feedback and we sincerely apologize for your experience at AppDynamics. The rapid growth of AppD did afford the opportunity to a lot of folks to step into first time management opportunities. We are happy to share that our L&D team has started rolling out training for new managers, as well as manager enablement trainings for existing managers, that we believe will continue to make AppD better at all levels! To that endeavor, we hope to become a better company tomorrow than we are today!
