Pros

It is a small company, full of bright people. Everyone in the company is very open and willing to work together whenever is necessary to help out another member of the team. Middle managers are generally good. Most of them care about the people in their teams and are willing to get the hands dirty every time is needed.

Cons

The culture of the company consist in consistently rewarding heroic individual efforts. You're expected to work long hours every time is necessary and that is, almost every day. Project planning is generally done very lightly which causes most projects to end up delayed and people burned out. Upper management is completely isolated and never get feedback from the employees. Most projects are meant to fail from the start (thanks to ridiculous deadlines and lack of resources) unless people put in extra hours from the start.

This review is nearly seven years old but I notice it's been viewed 139 times in the last 30 days so I'll add a few words. We were all working very hard back in 2008 -- Appian ran lean during the financial crisis and I have nothing but respect for everyone who was here back then. But we came out strong and now lead our market whereas a lot of our competitors didn't make it. It did feel impossible sometimes but we did it anyway -- with your help. So thank you.
