Pros

The best part about working at Appian is being part of such an incredible, fun, welcoming, and supportive culture. There are tons of opportunities to get involved and have an impact, even as a new employee. The environment is extremely collaborative, giving everyone the opportunity to work, learn, and succeed together. The people at Appian are genuinely some of the most kind and competent individuals I have ever met. I am consistently impressed with how willing everyone is to drop what they are working on to help others. On top of that, there are tons of opportunities for growth at Appian and the company is invested in YOUR ability to learn. Other fun perks (some specific to Engineering) include free breakfast every Monday, flexible dress code, designated work hours set aside for personal learning/improvement and working on independent projects, great office snacks, and flexible working hours. I genuinely look forward to going to work every day at Appian! :)

Cons

Would be nice to be closer to the metro / other shops and restaurants but the company has done a great job to compensate for this by providing free Ubers and a shuttle both to nearby metro stops and to both of the Tysons malls.

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.
