Great Company

Pros

Engineering department has great culture and is run very well. Great place to work and learn. Expectations are high but you’re surrounded by very intelligent people who are also great listeners.

Cons

Other departments outside engineering seem to vary in terms of culture. Everyone in engineering seems to be happy and motivated but can’t say the same for other departments.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The transparent and open way engineering sets its goals and the constructive ways it includes the company throughout the development process are distinctive aspects of the culture. There should be room for variation in Appian's culture across departments -- as a consultant or account executive, for example, it's probably not appropriate to show up for client meetings in sandals and a t-shirt.

Thank you for your feedback. As we grow, it's good to remember to keep challenging the many new leaders in "upper management" to find ways to operate openly and encourage new ideas. As for where we are going, we help make enterprise software simple with our Low Code Platform. We're going to keep doing that.

Great pay, nice perks in the office, good equipment and a laid back culture

Cons

The rate of growth was so fast there were hires made without really understanding what those hires would do.
