Pros

- In Professional Services, your experience and opportunities will be dependent on the projects you're staffed on (maybe this is a con?) - The people here are great - if you're on a team with Appian employees, you'll have a great experience. If you're on a project with partners / by yourself, you'll feel isolated - Even junior staff gets to take on large responsibilities - Occasional bench time to relax after intense projects is nice - Remote work is generally acceptable; very flexible of personal obligations

Cons

- Remote employees (even at satellite offices) often feel undervalued vs those at HQ - PS structure is beginning to turn bureaucratic, not as "flat" as it was a few years ago - Career path and expectations are ambiguous - Clear and actionable feedback is hard to come by

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. As we continue to expand the organization, we are committed to finding ways to continuously improve. Thus, we greatly appreciate your candor. Over the past year, we have invested in clarifying professional services career paths and promotion expectations based on feedback like yours. We want all of our employees here at Appian, whether at HQ, remote offices, or home offices, to feel valued. We are sorry to hear that you have heard or felt otherwise in this case due to work location. I welcome a conversation with you, if you are willing, to better understand how we can improve on this matter.

Thanks for your positive feedback. We're always looking for ways to enhance the benefits experience so I'm happy to hear you like the (relatively new) commuter benefit. Appian provides a bucket of Paid Time Off that combines sick leave and vacation together. Feel free to contact me (or HR) directly about your ideas on enhancing career growth and liberalizing our policies on paid leave.
