Pros

Everyone probably starts off with the free snacks and lunches which is an amazing perk, but there are so many other great things that come with working for AppD. If you put in the time, work, and effort there is a clear promotion path and your managers are here to see you succeed. Professional development opportunities are endless. There are a lot of team and office outings that encourage everyone to connect outside of the general team they work with. The office space is new in Richardson and everyone has standing desk. We’ve recently implemented a WFH policy that allows everyone to WFH one day a week.

Cons

We hire a lot based off of referrals. Although those are good, you’ll notice a lot of the same types of people and personalities in the office. It would be nice to break that up a little bit and add some additional diversity.

Pros

Extremely competitive benefits and perks Startup culture with the security of an enterprise Management that cares for your well being and career progress A transparent approach to management

Cons

As with any sales organizations, the negatives will only be apparent when one can't keep up with the pace and expectations. Everyone is held accountable for their responsibilities. So in short, there really isn't any "cons" that isn't in your control. The best part is the entire team is very supportive and wants to see everyone succeed!
