Pros

Some people working there are fun

Cons

Benefits were cut (company cruise, Friday perks). Salaries well below the average for industry and the area. Paralysis by analysis on tech side. And side projects/indie time never happened

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Appian and wish you well in the future. To clarify, however, benefits have not been cut, they are increasing all the time. We recently added tuition reimbursement as just one example. There never was a company cruise in your time with us -- the last one (for employees only) was 2006 and we replaced it with an annual retreat where the whole family is paid for. Indie time has always been optional and I'm sorry you found yourself unable to take advantage of this important part of the Appian experience in your short time with us. We've added group competitions to the traditional indie time and found great success so far. Thanks again for taking the time to share your opinions and for your contributions to Appian. -Michael, Co-founder & CTO, Appian

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.
