Appian reviews

It is incredibly frustrating to see good people leave because of unfair compensation/unclear growth. The team as a whole does not feel organized, it seemed like there was movement towards that but no real improvements. The floating holiday policy is very limiting, never seen that before at any other companies I've worked at where you can choose when to take your floating holiday. At Appian, you only get to choose between 6 pre-decided holidays unless they fall on a weekend. You can use it for your own birthday but only on the day it is happening and if it's on a weekday and for cultural/religious reasons as long as the manager approves. This is so incredibly limiting and I don't understand the reason behind it.

Only 8 paid Holidays. I would recommend 2 floating use it or lose it holidays. Not all employee's celebrate Christmas and their Holidays are just as important. Time off plans are not competitive with other companies operating in the same market. It's also sort of a use it or lose it feeling whereas you can only carryover up to 7 days into the next year. I personally would prefer to not lose it on Jan 1 each year and take time off in Q1 when my work load lower compared to the rest of the year. Paid only monthly I feel the pay scale for entry/low level employees is good, but increases for higher level employee's drastically slows down. No additional incentive provided once you earn a certain amount and have to have your name out there and know what competitors are offering.
