Pros

Good company. Aims to make businesses better. Strong product and sales team. It cares about its customers.

Cons

Marketing is completely dysfunctional. 80% of the department is a director or VP. They spend more time fighting about who gets to sit in what office, money or why they need more staff than actually producing valuable output for the company. Our engineering department is better at marketing than our own marketing department; which is just a baffling scenario. It is pretty ridiculous the quantity of staff and money that keeps piling into this operation without any accountability. Company just IPOd and still near zippo success at "marketing" or creating a "brand".

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the company's strong focus on our customers. As for marketing, let's separate fact from hyperbole. We wouldn't be growing if things were like you describe. 22% of the department is a director or higher, not 80%. The new Appian Community and Free Trial experience are both great "Marketing" successes -- but, like most everything we do here, also great collaborative efforts between departments. Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to speak further.
