Pros

The people. Good benefits. Great support for remote workers. Very positive outlook for company growth and opportunities. We use our own product to build apps that support our own teams internally.

Cons

The world's longest onboarding process. Most of the company is stuck on a very slow release process (though not mine). The product is good but there are a lot of opportunities for improvement. Execs are sometimes a bit too heavy-handed on processes and tools. Not enough focus on measuring success quantitatively. Very engineering-driven as a whole.

Pros

- You get to work with really incredible and talented people who are passionate about what they do. - The UX team is a really welcoming team. All the designers I collaborated with were exceptional. The team is committed to better the user's experience and are keen on ensuring the designers learn from one another. - Great manager. Had an amazing UX manager who helped me grow as a UX designer by being intentional about the goals we were trying to achieve. - Felt as a designer, I had a voice and my opinions mattered. - Learned so much within a short period. - Also get to be part of impactful work. - I appreciated the feedback giving. I was able to receive constant feedback both about my performance but also about my designs. The feedback was immediate and constant and this set me up for growth by having tangible action items to work on. - Great culture!

Cons

Had an overall great experience. Only con would be that the company could do with more diverse employees. The UX team is pretty diverse but the company itself could do better.

Pros

Work life balance is great and is strongly encouraged. Appian is a true people first company and that messaging is consistent. The software is legitimately fun to work in and is very high quality. Appian invests time and money to teaching employees and building their skills. The learnings are also reinforced, so it's NOT "here's a doc and good luck", but instead there are plenty of opportunities to learn more, to ask questions and to become a master. The remote employees are fully incorporated into team building and culture, which isn't always easy to do. I enjoy working at Appian from the culture to the people to the product and I plan on staying for a long time.

Cons

They do use Gmail which can be difficult and sometimes "roadblockish" in getting things done.
