Really good company but..... - Anonymous employee AppDynamics Employee Review

It's not fair to generalize about an entire company like other posts do but there are a few bad apples here that will ruin the bunch if we aren't careful. AppDynamics is basically BMC with a different logo. The VP management style is .... well lets say 'abrasive'. If you don't mind being pushed around then you will have no problem (they think it's leadership). The top execs preach values, which everyone believes in, yet on the ground you operate in a fiefdom which is a world unto itself. You absolutely have to pledge allegiance to the process and if you don't kiss the ring it's not pleasant. At this regional level it's political and they will kick you to the curb very quickly no matter who you are. HR policy is different to what really happens. Of course there is an open door policy; so long as you bow before you enter.
