Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm concerned about your perspective on management and people focus, and would welcome the opportunity to learn more if you would be willing to reach out to me. Between our Talent Management Council, Talent Management Chapter, Community Committee, Indie Time, Learning Time, and many other employee/growth-focused efforts, we hear more often than not that our focus on people is exactly what sets Appian apart from many employers. Please don't hesitate to contact me as I would like to personally ensure that you are having the best experience possible.

Pros

- Product provides real value, market leader, and an impressive customer base - Great leadership in the BDR organization - Experience selling to Enterprise level customers - Opportunity to progress into an Enterprise AE role - Appian does a great job hiring quality people, I've enjoyed working with 98% of my co-workers while here - Appian has strategically positioned itself to have a bright future and great upside - Lots of opportunity here for growth

Cons

- BDR to AE training program (promotion bridge) was questionable in planning and execution. (I do think this will be fixed way before a new BDR would get to this point because of the new BDR trainer) - Growing pains and theres gaps that need to be filled - Benefits aren't bad but they could be better
