Pros

Fun culture with great coworkers and good benefits

Cons

Company’s a sinking ship. Leadership is incompetent. Sales enablement is a joke. Zero consistency.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback – your insights are invaluable as we strive to create a better workplace for everyone. We recognize that actions speak louder than words, and we are dedicated to making meaningful changes. Our leadership team is committed to continuous improvement and has already started initiatives to enhance communication (Forums, Ask Me Anything, Fireside Chats) and provide a better vision (recently published Sales Playbook and Ops Strategy), so there is a clarity among employees where we are heading.

Pros

Working in the marketing department, you have a lot of freedom to take chances, explore new opportunities, and the freedom to get shadowing experience

Cons

The turnover rate is incredibly high within marketing because everyone is worked to the point of burnout. Although they are consistently hiring, there is just too much work to keep up with. Also, this is one of the least diverse companies I have worked at. Not D&I team either. It's a bit sad.

Pros

Absolutely the best Low Code platform on the market. Growth has been amazing. Employee support from a Covid perspective is above and beyond. Unlimited PTO. Extensive health insurance options. Competitive base salary. Exceptional engineering expertise.

Cons

Even with record revenues, Appian has hit a wall. I have high expectations the new CRO will shake up the organization. Legal has too much say in pricing deals. Legal needs to treat internal customers with respect. Commission structure needs reevaluated. I do expect this to be addressed for 2021. US top leadership needs to be more engaged and stop playing favorites.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your experience with us, and for your continued support at Appian for the last 5+ years. As you know, we take feedback seriously and are concerned by some of the topics you addressed. All employees at Appian are expected to treat one another with respect. Thus, I encourage you to please reach out to myself or your HRBP so we can further investigate.
