Appian reviews

The presales team in Singapore is the most inexperienced and nastiest which I have worked with in my entire 10-year career. Presales in Singapore seems to have a lot of time and is constantly engaging in bad mouthing and company politics to cover up its incompetence. The presales in Singapore has some humongous ego and behave like a kid, always acting in a childish puffed up manner, as if to say, "Hey, look at me, can't you see that I am so great?" Worst of all, presales in Singapore is always purposely sabotaging and being obstructive to sales efforts, resulting in many stalled opportunities in the sales pipeline. On the whole, I experienced different forms of workplace harassment by the presales team in Singapore and that included "withholding resources and information necessary to the job", "false accusations of mistakes and errors", "behind-the-back sabotage and defamation". Can you imagine important deals were lost because prospects thought that Appian is not a tool for business users after seeing a demo which required the users to do lots of coding? And can you imagine the presales personnel purposely hide the fact that he is on annual leave on a certain date when a POC had been scheduled with a prospect? In another instance, presales turned up one day before an important RFP presentation with the demo completely unprepared. That is how substandard and rotten-to-the-core Appian presales is in Singapore, a complete lack of professionalism and personal integrity. The company is experimenting with the set up in Singapore and it is a risky career move to join Appian Singapore at this time. The next sales rep joining Appian Singapore will have an extremely difficult time dealing with presales in Singapore. Had I know the situation in Appian Singapore, I would have taken up other job offers one year ago.

Pretty much everything else. See the Advice to Management section for context.
