Can anyone provide an honest review for AppDynamics. I have recently started seeing a lot of bad reviews regarding the "company not doing so hot".
How is the product doing in the market? How is the career growth? Is the company on a downwards path?

Also will this effect a new graduate joining the company in terms of my career growth (what I learn, how much I earn, how quickly I get promoted)?

Have a offer there as fresh graduate with ~25 TC

    A leader in observability and monitoring. They are run pretty isolated from big Cisco. A great company to get into the space.

    Competitive field is getting more crowded but AppD does maintain its first mover advantage.

  • AppDynamics is a dead weight now. I was there until 6 months ago, haven't logged in here with my @appd account. All the good people have left or are leaving. There is a alumni slack channel that a whole bunch of us are on and it's everyone who was good. The product has stagnated and is losing leadership. A good place to have on your resume as you look for next job, though...

      OP
      I understand that after the acquisition things have changed a lot. But are people leaving because they prefer the startup culture or is the company seriously "going down the drain"?

    I heard from customers that the AppDynamics product is extremely expensive.

  • I feel it is better than most other legacy teams eg data center switch/ spbu
