Pros

Great technology, definitely very useful. Ability to spread out across various tech stacks. My peers are all quite talented, not to mention fun to work with. Lots of excellent large customers with weighty names to work with. Good mix of young people and experienced professionals. A startup that is definitely attracting talent. I work remotely, as do many people in professional services, and I am largely left alone to do my job well, which works for me.

Cons

Tech stack is spreading kind of wide, leaving the core APM a bit behind. The server side of the platform is way too monolithic still which is causing trouble at biggest accounts - but it's being worked on. I hear of turf battles in engineering, although being remote I am largely insulated from them The PM organization is really weak and is not hiring the right kind of talent - we need technology-strong PMs but get folks who are only Excel/PowerPoint pushers. My references to strong tech PMs went unread/uncontacted Petty, but no reimbursement for home office internet is a first for me in working remotely for last 15 years. Apparently I get a Regis office and expense that, but not the internet?

Pros

I can tell within my first week that I made the correct decision in joining the AppDynamics team. I made the switch because I was looking for a great environment to continue to grow my sales skills and everyone here is absolutely in a position to help me with that. Can't wait to see what my future holds here.

Cons

I was told at every stage of the interview process that it would be a ton of work to get ramped up quickly in my sales role. That has lived up to it's word, but the work is worth it.
