Pros

Overall positive work environment. New office is good. Freebies like lunch, snacks etc

Cons

Decision making is SF heavy, it is improving though. Behind the technology curve, there is a resistance to improve also. Focus on individual career growth in Bengaluru is lacking.

AppDynamics Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We agree, the new office in India looks great, and free lunch and unlimited snacks are an awesome perk too. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing some pain points. I encourage you, if you are comfortable doing so, to reach out directly to HR with your concerns, or leave your feedback on the Employee Engagement survey. We rely on feedback to maintain and, when necessary, improve upon the overall AppDynamo experience.

Company Prides itself on Glassdoor ratings rather than employees

Business Outlook

Pros

- Start up environment - Great food

Cons

- Mismanagement sometimes playing itself out as office politics - The company rather than investing in it's employees would rather defer to finding a replacement because of it's once great name.

AppDynamics Response

Thanks for leaving us a review. We agree that AppDynamics has amazing food and a fun start-up culture, but it's disappointing to read your feedback about the company not valuing its employees. The majority of the feedback from our employees is very positive and for that reason, we are very proud. AppD strives to be a place where everyone loves to come to work -- and where employees are continuously being recognized and rewarded. Though it’s disheartening to hear about your less than amazing experience, we value the feedback nonetheless. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly high morale, excellent training and on-boarding process, and a LOT of room for growth and career progression. Incredibly competitive pay and benefits package.

Cons

Can be a little overwhelming at first, but there's a lot of great information to soak in and there's a well planned out ramp up period for SE's to be able to learn it all.
