      Pros

      Appian allows anyone to have an idea. And if it is a good idea it will succeed. If you want to see change, be the change. Even the newest employees's insight is respected. Work life balance is great. Appian provides many opportunities to advance and improve. If you prove yourself you will be promoted. Appian loves to promote from within.

      Cons

      The benefits aren't great. It is hard to convice senior engineers to join because they can larger annual bonuses, better 401k, and work from home else where

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are always improving benefits and appreciate your suggestions on how to improve life at Appian. We did just improve the 401k matching formula in 2015 -- but we can always do more. As for working from home, I don't think there's one right answer. We try to focus more on creating a compelling and collaborative office environment with the right mix of senior and junior talent. That's just hard to do with a remote workforce but I'd be happy to listen to your ideas. Thanks again for your feedback and all your hard work.

      Pros

      Alot of opportunities, maybe too many? Hahaha. There is a lot to be done here, and smart hard-working people do it.

      Cons

      There is only one way: The Hard Way. You cannot just go from 9 to 5 everyday and expect to get things done, and you are told this.

      Pros

      * There are some really good engineers, from which you can learn, have smart interactions, and produce something good. * You can make some good friendships, since the group is small and, for good or bad, you're going to spend a lot of time in the office together.

      Cons

      * Sadly not most of the people is top notch, although considering the company size and the area, the company is really lucky to have the good engineers they have. * No real growth after certain level is reached. Everybody starts becoming a director or VP, which is starting to become a joke. * Engineering is very undervalued, since in the eyes of the execs (even if they don't accept it), it doesn't produce money (like professional services does). * CEO holds back the company because of fears, either founded or not, of loosing control.
