Pros

- Product provides real value, market leader, and an impressive customer base - Great leadership in the BDR organization - Experience selling to Enterprise level customers - Opportunity to progress into an Enterprise AE role - Appian does a great job hiring quality people, I've enjoyed working with 98% of my co-workers while here - Appian has strategically positioned itself to have a bright future and great upside - Lots of opportunity here for growth

Cons

- BDR to AE training program (promotion bridge) was questionable in planning and execution. (I do think this will be fixed way before a new BDR would get to this point because of the new BDR trainer) - Growing pains and theres gaps that need to be filled - Benefits aren't bad but they could be better

Pros

Beautiful location and office, free snacks.

Cons

This is not a company that values diversity and furthermore they have no idea what inclusivity really means. Leadership is this company is afraid to offend the majority with a minority's perspective. If you're looking for a company that truly values diversity and inclusion this is not that company! Look some where else.

Thank you for your review, and we are sorry to hear you feel this way. Appian strongly believes in both a diverse and inclusive work environment. We acknowledge that diversity and inclusion is a journey, and that we always need to be moving in the direction of a more diverse and inclusive organization. Some of the steps that have taken place thus far include employee-led initiatives by our internal employee resource groups which play a vital role in building and supporting the needs and goals of various communities and educating allies; we have made specific outreach to HBCUs in the past and are increasing our efforts to support and recruit from organizations fostering technology careers for people of color in the tech space; and there are community outreach initiatives currently underway. As an employee of Appian, I encourage you to assist us with our efforts by referring friends, classmates, and former colleagues. My door is always open if you feel comfortable sharing any additional feedback.
