Pros

Modern software (cloud, mobile, social) makes it an exciting challenge. Growth has been strong which creates a lot of career opportunities. Employees and managers are expected to seize upon opportunities to make them a success with accountability.

Cons

Software firms on the east coast aren't common when compared to west coast. Appian represents more of a east coast environment (i.e. more formal) than one would expect at a modern software firm. This works for many people, but those expecting something less formal will need to adjust.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
