      Unique, Rewarding and Challenging

      Pros

      * Intelligent, dedicated and generous coworkers. * Engineering department moves quickly and stays current with (+ sometimes ahead of) industry trends. * Culture promotes meritocracy, openness, and quality. You can grow as quickly as you're able to take on more difficult projects.

      Cons

      * Few seasoned software engineers. * Limited resources, so large projects have to prioritized carefully and have to be deferred sometimes due to staffing/recruiting constraints.

      There are better places to work...

      Pros

      Met some really great people with whom I'll stay friends with for a lifetime. You do also (usually) have some autonomy with your work, depending on your department.

      Cons

      HQ location is not great for young professionals. You're not that close to DC (traffic in this area is not fun to deal with) and public transport is a pain all the way out there.

      Engineering is Great

      Pros

      You will be given all the opportunities to grow you can. I read a lot of other reviews and I can tell they do not work in Engineering. It is almost like engineering is a different company than PS and Sales. In engineering things are amazing. Your voice is always heard and you have opportunities to drive real change.

      Cons

      The benefits are very poor for a software company. It is hard to get talent to jump ship to Appian with the cost of things like our health insurance. The 401k matching could be better and with a better company.
