We are sad to hear that you feel this way. At AppDynamics, we have yearly performance reviews where you can critique your managers, and they exchange feedback with you on your performance as well. This is definitely a time to discuss any pressing concerns. Managers are also available for 1:1 meetings in which you can talk to them about anything from career growth and development, projects to team chemistry and more! We are strong believers that each AppDynamo should go after what they want and speak up. Ask for what you want and where you want to be, and we'll give you the resources to get you there!

Pros

Decent benefits as Cisco benefits kick in. WFH culture is good

Cons

Zero Product innovation. Lately, company culture has gone south. Most of the people have lost hope in the company and its leadership as it has become very political No one is in the company for the long haul.

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.
