Pros

* Great healthcare benefits and flex leave * Culture of Inclusion * Small community-type feel despite being a fairly large and dispersed organization * Managers who are invested in your growth

Cons

* 3 days minimum in office for local employees (within 50 miles of the office). Many teams, however, have colleagues who are not local and will remain permanently remote - not very fair. Despite some employees originally being hired as completely remote, if you are within 50 miles of the office, you are now required to come in. * Many benefits (ie cafeteria weekly stipend, travel benefits to AWS, company store) have recently been suspended. * Not upfront about the organization's recent layoffs/"reorganization." Recently claimed to be "recession-proof" and promised employees there would not be layoffs - which has now proven to be untrue. * Employees are being laid off amidst the company's commitment to "aggressive new hiring".

Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback on your experiences working with Appian. We are excited to hear that you appreciate our exceptional healthcare benefits, flexible leave policies, and inclusive culture. We understand that changes to our attendance requirements, benefits, and restructuring may have been challenging for some of our employees, and we are committed to ensuring that our communication is open, transparent, and supportive during these times of transition. While we strongly believe in the value of in-person collaboration, we recognize that some of our employees were hired to work remotely and may not have access to our physical office locations. We are actively exploring innovative ways to support virtual collaboration and engagement for all our team members. At Appian, we place a high priority on investing in our employees' growth and success, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to enhance our programs and initiatives. Thank you for your feedback and dedication to our company.
