Pros

Beautiful location and office, free snacks.

Cons

This is not a company that values diversity and furthermore they have no idea what inclusivity really means. Leadership is this company is afraid to offend the majority with a minority's perspective. If you're looking for a company that truly values diversity and inclusion this is not that company! Look some where else.

Thank you for your review, and we are sorry to hear you feel this way. Appian strongly believes in both a diverse and inclusive work environment. We acknowledge that diversity and inclusion is a journey, and that we always need to be moving in the direction of a more diverse and inclusive organization. Some of the steps that have taken place thus far include employee-led initiatives by our internal employee resource groups which play a vital role in building and supporting the needs and goals of various communities and educating allies; we have made specific outreach to HBCUs in the past and are increasing our efforts to support and recruit from organizations fostering technology careers for people of color in the tech space; and there are community outreach initiatives currently underway. As an employee of Appian, I encourage you to assist us with our efforts by referring friends, classmates, and former colleagues. My door is always open if you feel comfortable sharing any additional feedback.

Pros

Cool office & perks, unlimited PTO.

Cons

My manager ultimately stabbed me in the back. Being a recruiter here is a trap. No one has your back, your are just an order taker and every stakeholder has unrealistic and unfair expectations. The founders have their hand in the entire recruiting process and it makes it so unbelievably hard. They want top talent but have not top talent pay. They are not flexible on RTO so good luck.

Providing a supportive environment where expectations are clear and fair is something we hold ourselves accountable to every day. While our commitment to an in-person workplace is rooted in building strong collaboration and connection across our teams, we are equally focused on ensuring our leaders have the tools and training necessary to support every department.
