      Great company and experience

      Pros

      I was looking for sales positions at a start-up to mid-sized company where I could be creative and help build the business when I found Appian through a friend who working at Appian. I wanted to find a unique company that is paving the way in a new technology market and was impressed with Appian and the low-code market opportunity. I've been at Appian for 9 months now and have had a great experience from onboarding to the team dynamics to the leadership. It's company that is small enough to not have too much internal process, but big enough to have enough process to make your sales job easier.

      Cons

      I would say the only downside is that they have had a sales force with less experience so they aren't quite as used to having senior sales reps. So some of the processes are more geared toward new / early career sales reps. That said, leadership has been understanding of feedback in this area.

      One of the Best Places to work according to WashPost

      Pros

      Although still fairly new to the organization, I felt instantly at home with my team and upper management. It’s great to be surrounded by smart, thoughtful, caring individuals who want to help you succeed. The Events that take place for customers and employees are out of this world. I have had so many incredible experiences thus far, learning something new each day, and building relationships with both internal employees and outside organizations. The product itself is what drew me in as it truly does a phenomenal job of transforming business processes and is ranked as a leader in the Magic quadrant. #1 IPO in 2017 and ranked in the Best Place to Work category once again.

      Cons

      Learning to be patient with myself and the long sales process. It’s a complex sale as the product can do so many things and there are a lot of people to collaborate with to get the deal done, but everyone is always willing to help me learn.

      Great Start and a Bright, Exciting Future

      Pros

      Bright, positive attitude, hard working team, all pulling in the same direction! Persistent attention to "the little things" , and making things right when there is a better way. Committed to bringing the resources and training that Sales needs to be successful in the field. Culture of "walking the walk", vs. "talking the talk", from founder/leadership to management to front line!

      Cons

      Remote employees may not get the "vibe", that HO team members get.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review! I’m thrilled to hear about your positive experience thus far and I appreciate your advice as well. I agree, our culture is an incredible one! It has inspired me each day and we are committed, especially as we grow, to keep it that way. I would enjoy a conversation with you on how we can continue to improve the remote employee experience. The more feedback we receive, the better we can understand how to improve. Thank you again!
