      Pros

      Appian has a strong, positive culture - open communication is encouraged, my team is very supportive, and management treats employees very well. Also, It is extremely motivating to work for a company that rewards success with opportunity. There are a lot of ways you can take your career at Appian if you do well. The people here are intelligent, hard-working, and a lot of fun to be around. Work-life balance is perfect. We are in the heart of Reston Town Center, which is a great place to walk around at lunch and has many different restaurants and shops.

      Cons

      To be honest, I can't think of any downsides to Appian at this point. It is definitely a great time to work for this company. No complaints!

      Pros

      I was excited to work for a young company with a strong product that is growing at amazing rate. The potential to grow within this company was a key factor for me. My favorite part about working for Appian is seeing how the product can help solve the most complex challenges in a manner that is significantly quicker then our competitors due to our simplicity and strength of our solution, PS organization and partners. It is unlike any organization I have had the opportunity to work for in my career. It is a team made up of young go getters who are always willing to collaborate and make sure that we are all able to succeed as a team not just individually.

      Cons

      In comparison to other organizations that I have worked for as a Business Development Rep I can not name one.

      Pros

      Came from a large consulting firm and Appian provided a much needed change for the better! Mostly a young company, but everyone is very smart and eager. They pay well, especially to those just starting out in their careers. Great culture. Provides fun activities to employees, such as a summer getaway, ticket giveaways, movie nights, etc. Love that consulting teams are very fluid and truly agile. More self-organizing and less micromanaged.

      Cons

      Huge gap between entry-level and senior workers. There is high turnover among younger hires. This is due to the fact that wages and growth tend to flatten pretty quickly, and there is not a big drive to keep those in the "middle" around. PTO and benefits are not great, as there are 7 holidays and only 15 PTO days a year.

      Thank for your kind words and advice. We get a lot of questions about going public, it obviously generates a lot of excitement -- and a few concerns. It's worth remembering that Appian is not a typical tech company. Because of our success in self-funding for so long, we are in charge of our own destiny. We have always run Appian with a sustainable fiscal discipline that affords us the right to put our clients and employees first and no IPO will ever change that. Instead, if we do go public, it will be to grow our culture, never diminish it. We are very interested in keeping our already low turnover rate low for all employees -- entry-level and senior. Just like we founders are deeply involved in hiring, we review all departures for patterns and trends. People here can already earn more vacation just by tenure -- and most stay at Appian for five years or more. We are always adding new benefits and open to new ideas like the new Commuter Benefits we just added last month that will especially help newer hires. -Michael, Co-founder & CTO, Appian
