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.

Pros

Company was on up swing until they over hired mgmt and people which slowedtime to market, sales and growth,

Cons

Product needs improving, customer support lacking post sale. No clear direction from corporate, a political power struggle going on between old and new management and employees. Company has slashed territories and over hired across Americas with no demand gen plan or brand awareness in place other than cold calling. Recent departed Marketing VP who brought leads and helped build freemium model to where company is today recently left.
