Appian was once a great company with an amazing culture, but recent management changes have negatively impacted the organization globally. Career progression has become unclear, with no transparent promotion plans communicated for the past 2 years. Compensation remains below market standards and management struggles to articulate a clear strategy.
The company is enforcing a mandatory 5-day in-office policy starting this September, reducing flexibility and promoting intensity. The most talented people are leaving and the retention is at an all time low.
