Pros

Cool perks, really good benefits under Cisco, 19 -21 weeks maternity leave, 401k match, great stock plan

Cons

Great culture on paper, BUT in practice was one of the most toxic places I’ve ever worked. Definitely a boys club…if you were minority of any kind (person of color or female) you were treated as less than and had to work twice as hard for any promotions. New female managers were the most toxic of all…even going as far as to sabotage multiple people’s promotions simply due to personal judgements and not performance or merit. Managers bad talked reps behind backs and had false sense of superiority for no reason. All the good managers were treated like crap and left. The only people left were unprofessional at best. The talent pool there kept shrinking when I was there, and the only people that got promoted were only promoted because they were all that was left.

Pros

Cisco is a fantastic company to work for and the benefits are fantastic. You really get the sense that they care about their staff.

Cons

The same cannot be said of AppDynamics. AppD's main issue is the management across the board. Individual's that do a great job of their current job are regularly promoted without anything being done to prepare them for their next role, this has lead to a significant number of leaders lacking the competency required to do a good job. This is especially the case in the Sale Enablement organisation, a toxic working environment where problems are never addressed as the arrogant leadership refuses to acknowledge them. A leadership team that threatens to damage you career with bad references for petty reasons. Not a role I would recommend.

Pros

Great culture and helpful employees who have your back and share the same thoughts. You'll enjoy working here with your team-mates. Good food and compensation

Cons

Recently we have got to see a little micro-management, apart from that nothing to complain about. Overall a good experience.
