Pros

Some perks and benefits are good. Good laptop and swag. Stock options. Market leader in top right of Gartner Magic Quad.

Cons

Workflows, process and clarity of ownership has significant room for improvement. I agree with the other marketing review, bullying behavior is exhibited by marketing leadership roles - one example is sending offensive comments and animated gifs relating to team members area of accountability to a group email chain. Communication and working style of other leaders have room for improvement. And yes, unfortunately many team members have been laid off across round 1 and round 2 over the past months. Communication around this has not been transparent and honest, to the point where it has been misleading. Given the layoffs, the remaining team members are continually under pressure to pick up the slack and work across boundaries - it's moving goalposts continually.

We are very concerned by your posting, as we take every allegation of discrimination seriously at Appian. Your complaint on Glassdoor is the first time we have heard any indication of discriminatory conduct in our London office (where it says you are an employee). Appian has a zero tolerance policy with respect to employment discrimination and discriminatory conduct. Since your post does not indicate any details concerning the conduct, there is nothing for us to act upon. However, we encourage you to report your concerns on a confidential basis through our UK-based HR personnel or through our anonymous reporting hotline. We would very much like to act quickly on any issue of discriminatory conduct.

Pros

If you have joined in US then awesome team environment Free breakfast Amazing office

Cons

Small team Manager micromanaging everyone Not worth Graduate’s time It’s all about making “APPIAN” better not the individual better which is actually disappointing Manager will have 1 on 1 with you every other week but it’s useless they just want to get rid of the people who are genuinely trying to fit it... all they care about is the people who are quick learners
