Pros

The company is in an amazing industry, ranks incredibly high in Gartner and Forrester reviews, has amazing people, product, values, except... company has insane gossip problem. Many talented individuals have terminated short of reaching amazing potential because management strategy to deal with problem is poor. Advice is to "just don't get involved" or "just ignore it"

Cons

Company has insane gossip problem. Many talented individuals have terminated short of reaching amazing potential because management strategy to deal with problem is poor. Advice is to "just don't get involved" or "just ignore it."

Thank for you taking the time to comment on your experience at Appian. I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered problems with workplace gossip. We've worked hard for fifteen years to create a collaborative work culture and we take these kinds of issues very seriously. I would ask that you report your specific concerns directly to Debbie's team -- they will be treated confidentially. You are also always welcome to come speak to me directly so I can better understand your particular situation and take any other appropriate steps. My door is always open. -Michael, Co-founder & CTO, Appian
