Pros
- Love what I do and my department - My boss does not micromanage and I am autonomous - Fair pay (once I got another offer and used it as leverage) - Global organization - Amazing product - Health benefits are solid - Promotion potential is doable, though more challenging now that Sales numbers are down.
Cons
- Up to a 6% bonus for non-sales folk (3% this year...joy) - Lack of uniform messaging on how Appian should present itself in the marketplace, - Founders are a bit out of touch - Leadership turnover (last two CRO's only with the company for 1.5 years each). -Unrealistic expectations of Sales re: renewal uplifts, target numbers, etc. while reducing the potential commission possible. - Laid off the all of the Sales Development Reps. globally to align with CEO's new strategy. - Little diversity in C-Suite positions (1 Asian woman, 1 white woman, 2 male Indians, one male Spaniard (I think), and 9 white guys).
