      Agile work place and great people to work with, but not so great management to work with

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Agile, fast, cutting-edge technologies, and a lot to learn from experienced very helpful co-workers.

      Cons

      Management stack needs serious improvement. Sometimes even random new guys are hired with NO management experience and are asked to act as manager with all the authority in the world, and these managers are then too ignorant to work with the employees on their career path.

      Modern software firm without the legacy silos to maintain

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Modern software (cloud, mobile, social) makes it an exciting challenge. Growth has been strong which creates a lot of career opportunities. Employees and managers are expected to seize upon opportunities to make them a success with accountability.

      Cons

      Software firms on the east coast aren't common when compared to west coast. Appian represents more of a east coast environment (i.e. more formal) than one would expect at a modern software firm. This works for many people, but those expecting something less formal will need to adjust.
