Pros

Good colleagues, who were smart and wanted to make an impact.

Cons

Leadership, who doesn’t allow that impact to be made and dictates what can and can’t be done. My mental health plummeted as an employee as I was asked to do the work of many people while leadership didn’t care about seeing the results of my work. Any discussion about personal growth or development was put off and ignored. Excuses were made for leadership on the decisions that they were making. Diversity and inclusion isn’t a topic of discussion and when brought up as a problem, it is said that it’s priority but continues to be ignored.

On the job learning and stretch opportunities have been found to be the most effective way to grow in one’s career. We also offer opportunities for conference attendance and 1:1 coaching. Diversity and Inclusion is also a topic that remains a priority at Appian and specifically within the Talent Acquisition team.

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.
