Pros

They have a nice office space and friendly coworkers. Pay is also decent for the area.

Cons

They really don't encourage out-of-the-box thinking and want everyone to adhere to a narrow view of drinking the cool aid and never questioning things. Professional services is going down incredibly fast and no one seems to care. Anyone who wants a place to learn and grow should avoid Appian at all costs.

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.
