      Great Product, Great Opportunities, Misaligned Management

      Director, customer success
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      --Very strong product, improving rapidly. --The low code market has great potential. The company is in the right place at the right time --Happy customers --Collegial culture.

      Cons

      --Management turnover and a poorly executed sales methodology is causing turnover of high-performing sales people. --The company is rapidly outgrowing the management systems, meaning many jobs suffer a greater admin burden than they should. --comp is not competitive for the software sector. Incentive and career management processes are immature. --conflicting incentives across groups make getting anything that requires cross functional collaboration very difficult to get done.

      Thank you for your candid review, although it sounds like your experience at Appian wasn’t as good as either of us would have liked. It’s unfortunate to hear your thoughts on long-term career growth as providing growth opportunities for our team members, both horizontally and vertically, is something we pride ourselves in. It is also closely correlated to our high employee engagement scores and low attrition (not congratulating ourselves, just providing data to potential readers). I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors.
