Great Company

Pros

Engineering department has great culture and is run very well. Great place to work and learn. Expectations are high but you’re surrounded by very intelligent people who are also great listeners.

Cons

Other departments outside engineering seem to vary in terms of culture. Everyone in engineering seems to be happy and motivated but can’t say the same for other departments.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The transparent and open way engineering sets its goals and the constructive ways it includes the company throughout the development process are distinctive aspects of the culture. There should be room for variation in Appian's culture across departments -- as a consultant or account executive, for example, it's probably not appropriate to show up for client meetings in sandals and a t-shirt.

Unique, Rewarding and Challenging

Pros

* Intelligent, dedicated and generous coworkers. * Engineering department moves quickly and stays current with (+ sometimes ahead of) industry trends. * Culture promotes meritocracy, openness, and quality. You can grow as quickly as you're able to take on more difficult projects.

Cons

* Few seasoned software engineers. * Limited resources, so large projects have to prioritized carefully and have to be deferred sometimes due to staffing/recruiting constraints.
