Pros

The people are mostly genuinely good people. There is a lot of personality, so the style varies quite a bit depending on which area of the business you are focused on delivering. There are a lot of demands, but also a lot of flexibility.

Cons

There are a lot of uni hires in a few of the departments without prior full-time work experience. It is great that they are smart, but there tends to be a lack of perspective sometimes on what constitutes work and success. A bit too much coddling sometimes on nice people, but don't actually deliver significantly. However, less than other companies than I have worked.

Pros

Great selection of brilliant minds, willing to change for the better

Cons

- Siloed departments (getting better) - Fast growing company with 15 years of legacy holding them back. Most decision makers and senior leadership have been at Appian since they were fresh out of school 10+ years ago, could use leadership with outside experiences. - Compensation is alright, could be better. My main gripes are expensive health care plans and really low PTO, 15 days (including sick days). Many competitors offer 20-25 days without including sick days, that is a significant quality of life difference.
