Pros

Fully remote Elastic hours Very interesting technologies Lots of opportunities to learn Pays well

Cons

Frequent changes on the leadership level, which caused the lack of a clear company direction in recent years Over time it lost its autonomy to Cisco (which acquired it a few years ago)

Pros

There's a lot of genuinely great people. I'm not sure if it's a pro or con yet with AppD eventually rolling into Splunk. I'm hoping it's more of a pro and we can get rid of a lot of the toxicity and people promoted far above what they're able to contribute. We've lost a great deal of knowledge the last 12 months. Benefits are good overall since it's tied into Cisco. There can be stock options. Overall work-life balance is usually pretty good.

Cons

AppD was great company to work for. It's turned more toxic. There's a lot of great people, however, as with a lot of sales type role(s) there can be a lot of backstabbing. This is mainly because the higher levels of Sales Leadership that have taken over in the last year. Mandatory shut down(s) a couple times a year which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but they force you to use your PTO for those date(s). Since Cisco brought AppD, the product went stagnant for far too long. While they're back to innovation, it's almost all catch up work and nothing new. Our "new" platform others have already had in the market including Splunk. I don't foresee much longevity for AppD core. I truly hope I'm wrong.
