Pros

Great company, great product, work with smart people, and strong leadership.

Cons

No real negatives aside from having to travel. But that's the nature of consulting/professional services.

Thank you for taking the time say such nice things about Appian. We hope you'll learn to love Reston Town Center the way we do -- for walking to lunch, getting errands done, easy commute, ice skating, renting out the movie theater for Star Wars...

Pros

Hard working team. Good software.

Cons

There is an overall mindset of faking appointment setting for the sake of appointment setting.. So no real pipeline generation. BDR management is an old boys club. A hell in this modern times… Company culture is really encroaching. there is little respect for individuals, BDRs feel major pressure to perform to unrealistic goals, and there is a micro management culture- driven by fake metrics.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I disagree with your characterization of the Business Development team. I know it's a difficult job but more than half the BDRs met the goals you said were "unrealistic." Three female BDRs were promoted last quarter for real revenue generation so I don't know what "old boys club" or lies are holding them back. If you were being closely managed, it was probably because you weren't meeting expectations. Let's hope 2016 goes better for you.
