Pros

- Good culture and people - Provided snacks/meals and good benefits - Cool events pre-covid

Cons

- Almost all original directors are gone leaving the company in the hands of people whom don't have any qualifications in an executive level role - Attrition has never been higher - Product is monolithic and slow to adapt compared to competitors - Cisco is clamping down on the company and will completely run the show soon. The turtle-pace of Cisco will be the new normal - Annual layoffs will become a thing now at AppD - Haven't seen a well-run department yet. There are so many meetings and different misalignments that nothing gets done. Or if something gets done, it gets changed immediately after

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review! We love that you listed AppDynamics has a good culture, people and the shout outs for snacks/meals and cool events – pre-covid, of course. Regarding some of the items listed in your cons, acquisitions are undoubtedly hard we are committed to blending the best of AppD with Cisco. While this will take time as we adjust, learn, and grow together, we encourage you to continue sharing feedback with your leadership!
