      Pros

      Easy access to management across all departments. The company let a reasonable autonomous to its employees. Solution recognised and well appreciated by the market

      Cons

      Seem to have difficulties to manage the growth and market expectations due to the 2017 IPO. Some people started their carrier there and do not have the right skills. especially in middle management.

      Pros

      It’s hard to find pros. Product is good and references are good. People work hard and are smart. Free coffee at corporate

      Cons

      Not a place for a seasoned accomplished sales person. Sales management is nuts. Sales leaders yell, demean, dictate and treat sales people like admins. The place is crazy. Only people who do well are those that have been there for 14 years. There’s no respect for incoming sales people. Basically you’re treated like you’re stupid. Sales EVPs VPs aren’t very seasoned but they think they are masters of the universe. Horrible work environment for sales. Appian somehow erases postings. Negative postings I’ve read in the past are gone and only positive posts are left. Weird. Also presales staff is very iffy. Tough to find presales person who can do a good job

      Thank you for the praise on our teams, product and references. Our customers are foundational to Appian’s success and our people are the best in the business. It’s unfortunate to hear you’ve had a negative experience at Appian. The sales leadership team at Appian (including myself) recognizes the value that experienced account executives bring, and we actively elicit their feedback to ensure our sales team scales effectively and maintains the fast paced and rewarding culture we currently have. I also need to address your comment regarding missing posts. Glassdoor doesn’t give that ability to any customer nor would we ask them to as we value the feedback channel it creates to employers. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
