AppDynamics, a Cisco subsidiary known for its application performance monitoring software, maintains a global workforce of roughly 890 employees. Recent staffing data shows only a handful of new hires juxtaposed with a significant number of recorded departures, indicating an overall contraction in team size. Even with this adjustment, the company continues to support enterprise customers in optimizing application performance through its SaaS-based observability platform.
Engineering is the largest function with 342 employees and accounts for just over a third of the organization. Sales & Support follows closely at 338 employees, underscoring the company’s customer-centric revenue model. Mid-sized groups such as Marketing & Product (60 employees) and Business Management (45) help steer brand positioning and strategic initiatives, while specialized teams in IT, Finance & Administration, Operations, Consulting, and an “Other” catch-all category collectively total fewer than 100 employees. The limited inflow of new talent relative to departures has affected most departments but has left the core technical and go-to-market units as the primary population centers within the company.
AppDynamics’ workforce is widely distributed, with its largest concentration—about 195 employees—located in San Francisco. Secondary U.S. hubs include Dallas, New York, Chicago, Raleigh, Plano, Oakland, and Sunnyvale, each supporting between 11 and 40 team members. Internationally, Bengaluru hosts approximately 30 employees, providing engineering and support capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. An additional 109 employees fall under an “Other” category, suggesting a mix of smaller satellite offices or fully remote staff that broadens the company’s reach beyond its primary office locations.
