Pros

Corporate location is close to good happy hour/dinner options after hours

Cons

If you're a successful, seasoned salesperson: STAY AWAY. They micro-manage and give you so much busy work that you cannot sell effectively. For instance, they will fly you to regional office locations once a month to sit in a room and cold call with your colleagues. Yes, you all sit in the same room and cold call, talking over each other as if you are in a call center. The "pipeline" generated from these "Power Days" is all fake, its only a matter of time before execs realize it's all smoke and mirrors. They also like to tout a Software Guarantee, but yet ignore their legacy customers with issues and could care less about their failed implementations. Look elsewhere....

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It is unfortunate to hear that you did not have the best experience during your time here at Appian. We certainly value and consider all feedback, and I am happy you mentioned the Appian Guarantee. We are excited about this new offering, as we see it as a way to not only take a more active role in explaining how to best use our software but to also showcase how our software can achieve its full potential.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
