Pros

Appian allows anyone to have an idea. And if it is a good idea it will succeed. If you want to see change, be the change. Even the newest employees's insight is respected. Work life balance is great. Appian provides many opportunities to advance and improve. If you prove yourself you will be promoted. Appian loves to promote from within.

Cons

The benefits aren't great. It is hard to convice senior engineers to join because they can larger annual bonuses, better 401k, and work from home else where

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are always improving benefits and appreciate your suggestions on how to improve life at Appian. We did just improve the 401k matching formula in 2015 -- but we can always do more. As for working from home, I don't think there's one right answer. We try to focus more on creating a compelling and collaborative office environment with the right mix of senior and junior talent. That's just hard to do with a remote workforce but I'd be happy to listen to your ideas. Thanks again for your feedback and all your hard work.
