Pros

Genuinely kind coworkers who want to help you be well. A culture truly open to feedback and improvement - the C level folks demand it. Underdog status (for now) keeps hubris out and innovation levels high. Despite underdog status, the software is truly spectacular and used by many huge, influential organizations around the world. Fast paced culture, nothing is ever stale here. Also, breakfast served on Mondays. Nummy. Lovely office, team dedicated to employee career growth, everyone here has a solid tenure - always a good sign. The company also pays for you and your family to go to an annual company retreat! Fun for all!

Cons

Benefits/PTO could be better. Reston Town Center location can be far for true DC residents. Expense system and system to log hours suck - but that's not Appian software. Appian just needs to boot it for something better.

Pros

Cool office & perks, unlimited PTO.

Cons

My manager ultimately stabbed me in the back. Being a recruiter here is a trap. No one has your back, your are just an order taker and every stakeholder has unrealistic and unfair expectations. The founders have their hand in the entire recruiting process and it makes it so unbelievably hard. They want top talent but have not top talent pay. They are not flexible on RTO so good luck.
