What's the vibe like in the Customer Support dept at Appdynamics? How many hours are you working?
This is one area I really appreciated about AppDynamics. They are not micromanaging you as you do your work, you just do it. That being said, there is no shortage of work for the support team and they work long days at times. Knew of guys that were taking calls in the middle of the night that would last until the morning. That is not everyone, of course, but they are very hard working men and women.
