Pros

- A true professional test of who you are and what you are capable of. If you want to work in a culture of excellence, then this is the place for you. - Leading big, complex challenging deals that are strategically aligned to pressing and relevant IT/Business initiatives - Working for the Top 1% of Sales Leaders Globally (data point) - Data driven culture - Top class CEO - Clear vision for growth and product roadmap - AppD is known throughout the industry for producing the best sales talent - so this looks brilliant on your CV - There will always be one leader that will truly invest in making you brilliant and will truly care about you and making you achieve everything you wanted from your career. - Earning potential is there - Exciting life where you feel the adrenaline of achieving big things - Incredible perks and travel and President's Clubs - Fairly flat structure where you have lots of senior people at your disposal to help you and progress your deals

Cons

The below points aren't necessarily cons, but they are things to be aware of - Work / life balance can be a challenge due to the culture of excellence. But this is to be expected. Nothing great comes without sacrifice. - Leadership can be challenging to work for when you are not aligned with their views. Listen and learn and one day you will get the chance to comment when you are in their shoes. - It's a politically charged atmosphere and you have to be conscience of this (just like in life) - This isn't the place for you to challenge the data that made the company great. Follow the leading indicators and the methodology and success will come and you will enjoy working there. Don't and and you wont.

Pros

If you can be successful here for 2.5+ years, you'll be welcomed into a family of first class sales people. Your game will be challenged and elevated to sell this incredible product. Once this group has seen you sell, you'll never have to hunt for a job again.

Cons

This job is really tough. Even though the product is great, it's still a tough selling motion based on the nature of what it does and who it supports. Also, it can be a challenge to get from the inside into an outside role.

Pros

- Best in market product. - Incredible people - I've never worked somewhere where there are no passengers. Everyone at AppDynamics is hard working, intelligent, driven and collaborative. - The opportunity for growth is huge. I was hired from an engineering background, wanting to prove myself in sales. The management at AppD took a chance on me and worked as hard as I have to ensure I've been a success. Looking back at the last year I've grown so much in my career, learning more here about IT, business and myself than in any role I've previously held. - The chance to learn from some of the top players in the game. Leadership at AppD are incredible, inspirational and take pride in making their team members the best they can be. - The opportunity to work directly with the biggest companies in the world and make a tangible impact on the way they do business. - The work is challenging but the reward is great - fantastic pay, huge parties and a culture of celebrating our successes together.

Cons

- Can be hard to strike a work life balance at first - but that gets easier over time
