Appian reviews

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience with Appian and I'm happy to hear you recognize the quality of your colleagues. As my more frequent readers can attest, we welcome feedback on our benefits are always working on improving our benefits mix to improve life at Appian. I agree with you that the investments we make in our employees are not just the right thing to do, they are also good business. We are a bigger company now, and you'll see some of your complaints getting resolved soon. You don't need to wait for me to read the reviews on GlassDoor to help make Appian a better place -- if you have feedback on benefits, just tell me. Or if you're shy, send me a message on Home (our company Intranet built on our own software for you future employees). I do want to respond to your comments on training and sick leave vs. PTO. We investment a lot in employee training -- from our multi-week Academy when you start at Appian to the year-long Appian MBA Program for managers. And if you can't get the training you need from us directly we also offer a tuition reimbursement program. Ask your manager about it. To provide sick leave, Appian provides a bucket of PTO time for employees to use however they want or need -- for sick leave, vacation, shopping, anything. PTO is pretty standard practice. i hate the idea of employees questioning each other's use of sick leave -- that's one reason I prefer the PTO system. We don't take off every federal holiday -- that's true, we could always give more vacation. On the flip-side, we do reward employees with more PTO the longer they stay with us. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your experience at Appian. Wage compression is an issue any growing company faces -- and in a good economy more so. You say you've been here less than a year so I'd say stay tuned -- additional incentives to stay with Appian will take many forms -- from higher pay, to more interesting work, better benefits, extraordinary events, better food, better office space, better tech, additional stock options, to name just a few.
