      Company on a mission

      Pros

      The product is excellent, and the people are top-notch. There is a real focus on promoting from within, and recognizing the achievements of the top performers. Quality of customer service and overall customer satisfaction in the primary driver.

      Cons

      The people in professional services delivery are expected to work 60-80 weeks and travel extensively, which leads to burn-out. The company is small, but growing fast, which means lots of changes.

      Great Corporate Culture, Sub-par Benefits and Growth Opportunities

      Pros

      The corporate culture is great! Most people are young, friendly and a lot of fun to work with. Everyone they hire is smart, but never brags about it. The software is very interesting and has a lot of potential. They train incoming employees thoroughly to ensure that we are useful almost immediately. The management works hard to place each employee on a project based on their skills and their personal needs. They always are your advocate in tough client situations. Additionally, the holiday party and corporate retreat are very enjoyable and well-done.

      Cons

      The benefits and salary are low compared to the industry standard. This would be less of a problem if there were opportunities for raises or bonuses, but the only way to get a raise is to get promoted. For a certain professional services position, there are employees ranging from mid-20's to mid-30's who all get the exact same compensation regardless of tenure at Appian. Some of the project managers are underqualified and certainly less competent than others who have a lower position. Also, the founders are generally cold and seem to lack social skills.
