      Pros

      No known pros. Well, maybe the Nutella. I did like the Nutella. Pickles too. Good snacks. That sort of thing.

      Cons

      It's hard to know where to begin. There are deeply embedded cultural problems at the company that make it impossible to ship anything. Any talent that remains in product and eng is running for the doors. The C team is running the show, after the previous B-team execs left en masse once their golden handcuffs came off. The CEO, Danny Winokur, is totally adrift and is in over his head. Not a snowball's chance in San Francisco that this company makes it. The company reminds me of the show “Chernobyl” in terms of the lies, the lack of accountability, the technical incompetence and the meltdown for which it’s headed. Join only if you have given it your best shot in life and came up short and have just decided you don't care about where you work.

      Pros

      No great stuff to mention at this place, as this place is full Mgr, Mgr's buddy's place. Politics were there in every company but not like Appdy!!!

      Cons

      Looks like Mgmt shared the entire survey information, on what each and every person gave in his feedback on their best buddy’s without fixing actual Employee's problems,Mgmt and HR team screwed and screwing Employee’s who gave their feedback against to their thought’s.

      Thank you for participating in our Engagement Survey, and we apologize for your negative experience. We took the survey results very seriously, and created Impact Areas for folks to cross-functionally come together to solve common issues across the organizations. We've shared your thoughts with the People@AppD Leadership team. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain and, when necessary, improve upon the overall AppDynamo experience.

      Pros

      Great perks, they have $ to spend, big office, great location. The work life balance while I was in my role was good. I rarely had to take work life home with me. There are a lot of great people here who are very intelligent and who care about what they do and want to see the company succeed.

      Cons

      Terrible management, very clicky, super political, was talked down to often, no values, no integrity. I would have very much loved to have kept working here but had a very terrible team experience and no help, encouragement, motivation from my manager to want to stay there. I am very happy with what I have accomplished and done for them but had to move on.
