      Excellent company, market-leading product, and opportunities to make an impact

      Pros

      Appian is a fast-growing company full of intelligent, collaborative people. Easily the best workplace culture I've been a part of. The product, our low-code automation platform, is considered one of the best in the industry and we help major global companies solve their complex challenges. It's so much easier to enjoy work when you believe in the product. Most importantly, Appian is full of opportunities to make a real impact. The company is still maturing, and younger/newer employees are given a lot of responsibility right from the start. High starting salary, unlimited PTO, and free Ubers to and from the metro station seal the deal. If you're looking for software industry jobs in DC/Northern Virginia, Appian should absolutely be on your list.

      Cons

      The Tysons HQ office is really nice, but the traffic congestion for commuting is rough. And no walkability to restaurants/stores once you're on the campus.

      Pros

      Appian has made a great effort to be a great place to work. Especially for younger engineers, this is a great place to learn and grow. At the same time, the company is committed to the personal growth of its employees. Also, if there are problems, management takes criticism seriously, investigates, and puts into action things that result in positive change.

      Cons

      As the company gets larger, it gets more process-heavy, and it's harder for senior people to know what's really happening on the ground. Appian has grown well, but it's still starting to have big company problems. The engineering department has become very junior heavy in the last few years.
