Thanks for taking the time to share your views. I'm sorry to hear you apparently received some bad information about events: everyone is welcome at our thee major annual gatherings. In addition, overseas offices have their own events budgets. Check with your manager for details.

Cons

-You need to love a challenge, they'll put you to work from day one. You need to bring your A-game day in and day out

Pros

Appian is an awesome, youthful company that offers a lot of opportunity for growth especially for recent graduates. Associate consultants are given a lot of responsibility developing client applications, and they can quickly participate on the client side with production support and requirements gathering. The people working here are definitely motivated and intelligent, and the company overall has a play-hard, work-hard culture. There is plenty of growth, so a good amount of upwards mobility, and a wide range of client projects to work on. I'm definitely grateful that I've had such a good experience right out of college.

Cons

-Their benefits are mediocre compared to some of the competitors (Deloitte, Accenture, etc.) -Turnover is relatively high in professional services, which can occasionally affect project morale

Thanks for taking the time out to share your experiences and your recommendation of Appian! I encourage you to send your benefits suggestions to Debbie or me directly -- we're always enhancing them. The new Appian MBA Program is just one recent example of how we are focused on retaining talent. While the PS turnover rate did tick up slightly to 7.3%, I have personally met with the project team you mentioned to help address their concerns. We take every departure seriously and treat them as an opportunity to improve our hiring, training, and the entire Appian experience.
