Pros

- Most importantly: most of us are seasoned sales professional and appreciates a sensible, structured solution selling approach and an innovative product to sell that customers really need. You can find all that at Appian. But the most important reason I am happy to stay and help build this brand is that I can collaborate with smart and emotionally intelligent people on different levels of the organization and that in particular includes sales management that really pitches in, helps out, allow mistakes and is interested in seeing you succeed. - attractive sales bonus plan with unlimited OTE and compelling base pay - great product set that innovates 4x per year. - customers really need this for their digital transformation / ideal for a solution selling approach. - great team working - Anglo’s mix between millennial agility and seasoned professionals - you get genuinely asked how you are doing on forecast calls and people mean it. - people around you understand that they are not ‚know alls‘ even if they have the track record. People like to see others succeed. Good number of leaders are female which shows that this organization is inclusive and adult. - founders can be believed and are passionate to grow their business

Cons

- growing pains. Need to control the amount of internal admin calls and threads. - some managers don’t add a lot of value - international hr programs need to be updated. Base pay adjustments sub par - career growth opportunities need to become clearer

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.
