Thanks for your kind words. Since everybody is different, I would just ask that all contributors consider adding more specifics about what kind of work you do at Appian and what expectations you had coming into the company -- like in this case for work-life balance. We find that makes reviews more useful for prospective candidates and helps us assess how we're doing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’ve said it here before, sales can be a very difficult job. Appian executives (myself included) spend time in the field with our account teams so we can experience your challenges first-hand. With that in mind, a great deal of effort goes into designing compensation plans and territories to ensure our people have an opportunity to exceed expectations. Appian hires experienced managers from outside but we also invest heavily in growing leaders from within the company. As with anything, there is always room for improvement.

Your are right that as a high growth company we will face challenges and to ensure our culture remains intact and evolves along with Appian. I work closely with the People team reviewing policies and programs that shape our employee experience. As it relates to merit we have numerous public and private channels for managers and peers to reward and recognize employees. If you have suggestions on a new approach or tweaks to our current programs I would love to hear them. Feel free to grab time on my calendar to discuss further.
