Pros

A really diverse working environment, full of highly talented team members. There have been changes, but Appian does its best to stick to its core principles and maintain a positive culture. Everyone is encouraged and empowered to actually make a difference

Cons

The last few years have been bumpy at times (the same as most places in our industry), but Appian has done well to minimise the negative impacts.

Pros

Product is good and they could leverage it better

Cons

They are continuing to cut people. There is a toxic culture where everybody is looking to protect themself. They are firing people with no respect of their experience, seniority, knowledge... Their marketing sucks, they are changing the message every 6 months. They have a fundamental pipeline problem. Also, leadership is trying to avoid conflict with the CEO and they are making absurd decisions just to please him and keep their seats. It's not a good place to be.
