What does the leadership team need to get better at?
DEI - being fair to all employees (managers and support staff). Empathy - mental and physical wellness is important to employees - don't hold these against the employee. Honest and open - clear is kind; unclear is unkind. Be honest and open and don't lie. Advocate for your direct report.
Being transparent, not thinking their employees are stupid, facing reality
Review from Sales Dept
Setting goals and measuring execution. Provide a clear vision.
Care about their employees and foster an environment for career growth
Review from Marketing Dept
Communication with the teams. Having a long term-strategy. Bringing everyone together.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Too many employees not enough work, slow to move in an agile space. Cisco bogs down AppDynamics snd competitors are surpassing
Review from Sales Dept
Compensation is relatively low compared to other similar tier company. More RSU and higher Base salary to be more competitive in the job market.
Company emphasizes non base salary to be competitive, but this can dissapear fast if markets do poorlu so its not as dependable
More in line with the industry
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I do not trust my team as I have been thrown under the bus behind my back. It's hard to trust they have my best interest in mind.
Focus on hiring the right people for the right reasons and do more support professional development
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
True DEI efforts where everyone is truly equal. Support for the AAPI community (ERG would be great). eStaff open to listening to the employees. Actually doing something about high attrition. Be honest.
Focus on delivering technology first and foremost. Do that by figuring out a more collaborative way for Cisco and AppDynamics to work together. Too many internal conflicting interests that ultimately detract from the holistic solution delivered to the customer
Review from Sales Dept
Change the Bro Culture, give employees a work/life balance (a large emphasis is put on forcing family to pick up your slack so you can focus on work 150%), and, while the process works insanely well, they need to recheck the reality of how relationships are formed in accounts/timelines, etc.
Review from Sales Dept
Hold people accountable, make the work less bureaucratic and make people come to work.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Interview process was strong just very time consuming
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company is dying a slow death.
Cisco bureaucracy, slow to advance career, brain drain at the company, too many reps. Make patches bigger, find a way to more easily sell with Cisco, pay competitively to other major software organizations
Review from Sales Dept
People won't show up or show up late for meetings. Overall chaos which leads to duplicate efforts.
