Pros

Corporate location is close to good happy hour/dinner options after hours

Cons

If you're a successful, seasoned salesperson: STAY AWAY. They micro-manage and give you so much busy work that you cannot sell effectively. For instance, they will fly you to regional office locations once a month to sit in a room and cold call with your colleagues. Yes, you all sit in the same room and cold call, talking over each other as if you are in a call center. The "pipeline" generated from these "Power Days" is all fake, its only a matter of time before execs realize it's all smoke and mirrors. They also like to tout a Software Guarantee, but yet ignore their legacy customers with issues and could care less about their failed implementations. Look elsewhere....

We certainly value and consider all feedback, and I am happy you mentioned the Appian Guarantee. We are excited about this new offering, as we see it as a way to not only take a more active role in explaining how to best use our software but to also showcase how our software can achieve its full potential.
