      Thank you for the comments! While Appian strives to provide an environment and perks that support work/life fit it can vary based on the demands of the job. Please speak up to either your manager or HR if there are ways we can help you balance.

      Pros

      Great company with powerful product and committed leadership. Wonderful work environment. Solid benefits package. Superb company events - movies, ticket lotteries for sports and shows, Holiday party. Sales has access to senior leadership to help influence deals. This is a growth company in growth mode. Everyone influences the direction of the company. If you need to be heavily managed, this is not the place for you. If you want to contribute ideas, ask for help when needed, and influence product and marketing - you will succeed here.

      Cons

      Like every software company, new releases have some glitches - which can surprise the client and Account Executive. Some internal systems are archaic and cumbersome, but the company focuses on external development rather than internal.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Appian. A lot of hard work goes into creating the positive environment you write about so thank you for recognizing it. I agree, the time & expense system is outdated. The Finance Team is working on modernizing it -- something we can all look forward to.

      Pros

      I didn't really think all the glowing ratings could be true when decided to accept the offer. THEY ARE. It is an exciting time to be in a growing company that cares so much about people and transforming business/government. The product is the real deal, powerful and fast. Leadership is passionate about the success of people and the amazing product. Everyone I've met is dedicated, bright, excited about the role they play. Bright people that you want to spend time with -- Best idea wins -- Management is highly accessible -- Team atmosphere with accountability -- Highly collaborative -- Lots of energy. Folks are allowed to be themselves, not a corporate drone. Appian is unlike any other company around the beltway. Way too many awesome things to list.

      Cons

      There are no cons. I respectfully disagree with the 'cons' from the other posts. Definitely a great place to work.
