Pros

Supportive Regional Director and leadership, great Sales Solution team to work together with, strong product though competitive to sell (it's all good); strong compensation plan. A rigorous sales process is not for everybody, but I love it. I joined the company because I thought sales people need to grow and get better. AppD provides that.

Cons

It's a little bit difficult to sell because it's a competitive space, but that's what we are trained for as sales people right? Though it's hard, the sales process helps us to stand out and differentiate from other sales people!

Pros

You get a good pay Employees are consummate , and helpful too

Cons

You are trapped in a vicious cycle of C1/C2 Cycles of monthly releases. Even though you are a automation engineer, you ultimately end-up doing manual testing. QE is more like machine/robot work. Less learning in the process

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The Quality Engineering organization at AppDynamics has been evolving at a rapid pace and continues to adopt industry best practices from a CI/CD standpoint. We have already moved away from manual/ Regression Testing towards automation in order to cater to the ever growing demand for faster releases. We appreciate you taking time to review your experience at AppDynamics!

Pros

I have had the opportunity to work in many organizations throughout my career and have been very blessed with some amazing opportunities. With that being said, there are very few companies where you can say that you are working with the best, have an amazing set of solutions to sell, and that every day you learn and are pushed to the next level by your peers. I had that experience at Mercury Interactive and when I left I once felt that I would be spending the rest of my career searching for that again. Until I found AppDynamics. AppDynamics is truly a special place with a team atmosphere and has some of the best of the best people and solutions you will ever work with. I have never worked harder, learned more, or had more success than I have here. We have a world class sales process that if followed properly proves to our customers the amazing value of our solutions and drives that value after the sale to assure satisfaction and growth of the solution and its usage. We have an excellent engineering and product management staff that focuses on delivering high quality solutions that customers need. Even Cisco's acquisition of AppDynamics, which I was concerned could quickly become a negative, has actually turned into a great positive. Their tendency to provide autonomy to AppDynamics while still giving us the warm hug and support of a huge corporate giant has been well... great!

Cons

From a cultural perspective I always chafed at tendency for many especially in the corporate office to want o sugar coat everything. When I initially joined it wasn't appropriate to point out that we weren't perfect and that we had many things to improve. With many changes at the top including the hiring of David Wadhwani that seems to have changed and we are much more accepting of our faults. I'm very proud to see AppDynamics mature as an organization and realize that there was never any magical pixie dust making us great, it was and is great people and hard work that got us where we are and where we will go.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a thoughtful review. We’re thrilled you’ve had such a positive experience at AppDynamics throughout the years, including the transitional period after the acquisition by Cisco. We're fortunate to have many fantastic leaders here, including David Wadhwani, who have helped transform us into the mature company we are today. Thanks for being part of the AppDynamics family!
