I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AppDynamics (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online. I wrote in my cover letter that I don't have sales experience but was interested in a career change.
Received an email from the recruiter to set up a phone call a few days later. We talked and I was grilled me on all the finer points of APM as if I'm supposed to be an expert on their product already.
I then had a phone interview with the hiring manager and that didn't go so well. The hiring manager basically told me to keep applying for other jobs.
I then have to speak to the recruiter again and was told to try again some other time. I just don't get why this company would waste my time going through these phone conversations with me when I specifically stated on my cover letter that I had no sales experience but then reject me because I have no sales experience.
We are committed to hiring people from diverse backgrounds, so not having sales experience is not necessarily a deal breaker. In this case, it sounds like you were not a fit, but we apologize that you feel like your time was wasted.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AppDynamics (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR, phonescreen with hiring manager and then onsite interview with various team members (3 hours onsite 1:1).
Most folks asking questions were pretty weak and not challenging. Everyone seemed hung up on why us and why do you want to leave your current job?
The hiring manger did provide a tour of the office, typical startup feel video games and free food.
Eventually after the interviews ended, HR person said would contact within a few days. Week goes by and no word, I email and no response. Let to figure out that they are not moving forward with me. So, this is the new norm if not selected dont expect to hear from us.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AppDynamics (Bengaluru) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process was nothing but a disappointment since I had a good impression of AppDynamics before interviewing with them.
The HR called to schedule an interview but failed to give confirmation on a time to me.
When it was finally rescheduled, the interviewer was very weird. He has a set of questions and would give me exact 10 min time while he goes away god knows where. He would come back after 10 min and ask me if I have solved it completely. If not, he would move on to the next question without even having a look at my work or discussing the problem. Whenever he did speak, there was a child crying in the background(it was a telephonic round and I guess he was taking the call from his home). They might as well have sent a hackerRank link if all they wanted was a binary answer.
All in all, a very horrible experience.
