AppDynamics Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We agree that AppD has some of the most amazing people! It’s disappointing to hear you aren't feeling appreciated though, especially since one of AppD’s core values is “together”. Here at AppD, we are one team, from Operations to Sales, and together we’ve contributed to the success of AppD.

Pros

AppDynamics is a standalone business unit of Cisco. So you get the smaller teams and agility of a startup within AppD, but the employment benefits of the enterprise with Cisco ownership. Everyone was welcoming, and there is regular communications from the executives to all hands.

Cons

Can take a little time to get used to what you need VPN to access.
