Pros

Very fast growing so lots of opportunity, the technology really is the market leader and as customer success is so strong we have the best relationships with customers that I've had since being in IT.

Cons

The rapid growth can cause challenges and many aren't dealt with until they become an (entirely predictable) problem. The exec layer has been there since the start and are often found wanting.

Pros

Appian has a really great work culture and solid benefits. I have been particularly impressed at how quickly I've been given responsibility at work -- Appian has no time for meaningless red tape. The HQ office is beautiful, and Appian is mostly supportive of accommodating changing work needs, whether that means working remote, taking maternity leave, etc. Upper management is all very accessible, and overall it feels like a place with enough career opportunities to keep you engaged for a long time.

Cons

Everyone at Appian works hard, and there is a steady (not overwhelming) pressure to perform well. Work/life balance is still fine, but If you're looking for a "chill" job, this probably isn't a good fit for you.

Pros

I was looking for sales positions at a start-up to mid-sized company where I could be creative and help build the business when I found Appian through a friend who working at Appian. I wanted to find a unique company that is paving the way in a new technology market and was impressed with Appian and the low-code market opportunity. I've been at Appian for 9 months now and have had a great experience from onboarding to the team dynamics to the leadership. It's company that is small enough to not have too much internal process, but big enough to have enough process to make your sales job easier.

Cons

I would say the only downside is that they have had a sales force with less experience so they aren't quite as used to having senior sales reps. So some of the processes are more geared toward new / early career sales reps. That said, leadership has been understanding of feedback in this area.
