      Not a sales company

      Pros

      Product is good and there are a lot of smart people in engineering and product management.

      Cons

      CEO is too controlling on product direction. This is not a sales oriented company and respect for sales professionals is very questionable by executive management.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your views. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience but I'm always available to discuss your issue. All four of us Co-founders spend a considerable amount of time in the field directly supporting our sales professionals so we try to pay close attention to their concerns. Is Appian sales-oriented, engineering-oriented, or PS-oriented? My contention is that we must be all three to make our clients successful. As for the product roadmap, there are times when I selfishly wish I controlled it all myself but the wisdom to balance tactical client needs with a long-term, strategic perspective is not resident in one mind alone. It's a strong vision from the CEO paired with a well-functioning marketplace of ideas that has gotten us this far.

      Pros

      The people are great to work with, and they care a lot about your professional development. The projects are very interesting, and there is a wide range of teams that you can join. Overall, it's a great product with a great team.

      Cons

      The build can be.... frustrating, at times. There is a lot of nuances that must be learned in order to be effective at your job.

      Collaborative work experience using our own software, many opportunities to grow within the company, innovative product, generally great people, interaction with executives and founders

      Cons

      Career and financial progression is more up to who your manager is than your own performance, strength of management is not consistent
