Pros

The team at Appian is truly exceptional. Colleagues genuinely care about each other's success and go above and beyond to help out. The collaborative, organized environment makes it easy to communicate and achieve resutls.

Cons

Losing its culture. Leadership can get delusional about their goals. Company has gone nowhere in the last 7 years after the IPO. Not sure if anyone cares about that. Leadership is in their own little world. Big changes are needed in strategy and perhaps leadership.

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.
