I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AppDynamics in Oct 2018
Interview
It can take anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks from first call with recruiter to an on-site and final offer. You get to meet the hiring manager, a director and the broader team to gauge your personality. It's a good mix of technical and cultural fit, so be prepared!
Overall, this was an extremely streamlined process and the entire AppDynamics team was very helpful through each stage. They set you up for success but you got to make the effort :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Whiteboard an end-to-end transaction with the all the users, components and dependencies involved (utilize a cloud deployment) and explain the need for each component
Introductory meeting with hiring manager. Work sample leveraging AppDyanmics. Fairly technical - need to be savvy with the command line. Took probably 8 hours. Then reviewed answers with the manager, who was super helpful in answering questions. After that had a chat with a teammate who helped answer my questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AppDynamics
Interview
1) Phone screen with recruiter
2) Call with Sales Engineering Director
3) Call with Sales Engineering Manager
4) Take home lab
5) On site interview - presentation, technical questions and professional work experience questions
The lab is great because you get to actually use the AppD product and play around with it. I had no APM experience and was able to figure it out, there were a few things that took me a while to grasp but learning was fun.
Overall, great team - you can tell they care about you as a person, your happiness in the role and really setting clear expectations. I loved the interview process, I was challenged and got to meed some amazing people who I now get to call coworkers.
