Great to hear you enjoy your coworkers. People and culture are core to what makes Appian a compelling place to work. We know that returning to the office is an adjustment, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We believe that in-person collaboration, connection, and speed of execution are foundational to our culture and success. While we have always offered some flexibility, we are an in-person workplace first.

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.
