Pros

A great technical solution, great sales process, above average pay, many skilled coworkers, doable sales targets.

Cons

Very aggressive sales management style, "management by fear" some would call it. No work life balance. Extremely high KPIs for the salespeople. Probably good for people that have no friends, family or hobbies, but just want to become super great at sales and earn a lot of money.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at AppDynamics. Your feedback on our technical solution, sales process, compensation, sales targets and great colleagues are spot on - those are all very important! However, I’m sorry to hear about your less than amazing experience in other areas, such as work-life harmony. Your feedback will be shared with management and also sales recruiting, to improve our transparency during the hiring process. I also encourage you to give your honest feedback on the Employee Engagement Survey or if you’re comfortable doing so, reach out to HR with your concerns. We strive to be a great work environment for all.
