Unorganized Department but Great Culture

Pros

Appian in general is a great place to work, feels vibrant, energetic, people are nice and the culture is great. I feel totally relaxed when it comes to my work dynamic with others and my ability to properly balance work/life.

Cons

It is incredibly frustrating to see good people leave because of unfair compensation/unclear growth. The team as a whole does not feel organized, it seemed like there was movement towards that but no real improvements. The floating holiday policy is very limiting, never seen that before at any other companies I've worked at where you can choose when to take your floating holiday. At Appian, you only get to choose between 6 pre-decided holidays unless they fall on a weekend. You can use it for your own birthday but only on the day it is happening and if it's on a weekday and for cultural/religious reasons as long as the manager approves. This is so incredibly limiting and I don't understand the reason behind it.

Thanks for your positive feedback. We're always looking for ways to enhance the benefits experience so I'm happy to hear you like the (relatively new) commuter benefit. Appian provides a bucket of Paid Time Off that combines sick leave and vacation together. Feel free to contact me (or HR) directly about your ideas on enhancing career growth and liberalizing our policies on paid leave.

Great product that keeps getting better. Existing customers are growing.

Winning new logos is the big challenge. The sales strategy needs to evolve.
