The combination of salary, bonus, and stock options is very competitive

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 4 days ago

Flexible leave time as a salaried employee

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 7 days ago

unlimited PTO that's encouraged to take and actually use

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Salaries are overall good with market. Bonus targets are very low compared to market.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Honestly, there's not really a best part, but I do think it's fair. Maybe slightly under what I'd hope for at this point in my Appian/professional career.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 8 days ago

The salary is competitive .

The comp structure and benefits is great

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 10 days ago

word word word word word

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago

The overall package is great, but for those of us in sales the Commission structure is nice.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Generous benefits and perks, refreshed often.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago

A lot of bonus opportunities

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Flexibility of the total offering, in addition to variety of offering

Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago

That we match the standards of what we do in the industry.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Cost of living is increasing faster than my compensation

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 4 days ago

I think the compensation varies too much between countries, and also between positions. It seems to me that the position I hold, in relation to the tasks I perform, is not fully commensurate with my pay and/or financially adequate.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 4 days ago

Not enough responsibility. [Two more words]

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 8 days ago

we are paid less than similar positions at other companies, and that used to be ok when we were treated better and trusted, but now it feels like we're treated as numbers, forced to work in office 5 days a week, and are still paid the same/less. they fixed salaries a few years ago but then undid it

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 11 days ago

I admit I love my role and everyone I'm working with however I'm significantly underpaid

Review from HR Dept · Posted 14 days ago

25 vacation days is at the extreme low end in The Netherlands. I would be happy with 30 (which is still at the lower end). This is even more important because a lot of traveling is involved with a remote job. The travel time is mainly done in private time. The work life balance is not good at all at

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 15 days ago

I have the exact same experience as many of the engineers do, and yet I'm paid significantly less than them.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 16 days ago

My scope has grown significantly beyond my original role while already being paid under market rate

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

Improvements to cash bonus percentages and equity.

Review from Marketing Dept

Whilst I don't feel undervalued I do feel that for what the market pays (particularly my salary at my previous company) I've taken a significant pay cut

Review from HR Dept

Equity is no where near industry standard. I feel like I am giving a lot of my time and life to make the company better but my ability to reap the rewards of my own personal investment is really, really low. It makes me feel less invested in the success of the company.

Review from HR Dept

By getting paid to the market standards

Review from Engineering Dept

Total comp package could be higher, especially when dealing with the benefits, which are extremely expensive and non-performant.

Review from Sales Dept

Higher pay to be competitive with market

Review from HR Dept

Pay transparency on job postings seems more in-step with similar tech companies. Without that transparency upfront, it's easy to default to "everyone else must be making more" thinking, even if this is not true.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Appian seems to emphasize job level a lot in justifying compensation. While YOE/age are important factors to consider, I think the skills required by each role within a given department should warrant more nuanced compensation discussions.

Review from HR Dept

The RSU vesting scheme needs to move from annual to quarterly in line with most tech companies. I wouldn't have joined if I had known this.

Review from Sales Dept

Somewhat large disparity between Engineering pay and CS pay. Different skillsets, but value provided and difficulty of job feel more similar than pay reflects.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I am not compensated as well as my peers at the area

Review from HR Dept

Additional equity grants on par with Industry best practices.
