What is the best part about your compensation package?
A great base pay comparable to the top companies in the market.
Review from Engineering Dept
The compensation includes additional RSUs
Review from Engineering Dept
RSU and variable pay along with good package
Review from Engineering Dept
It's okay similar to many other companies, there is nothing as such best part or a part that stands out.
Review from Product Dept
The healthcare benefits and roth
Review from Marketing Dept
It is in line with what other companies pay for similar roles.
Review from Sales Dept
The best part of my total package would be the benefits and flexibility. The best part of compensation would be my salary and getting paid for my experience.
Review from HR Dept
The total compensation is satisfactory.
Review from Sales Dept
The best part of my compensation package might be stock and base pay
Review from Marketing Dept
Pay and Time off requirements
Review from Sales Dept
having something for transportation, the rest is generic in the industry here where we work
Review from Engineering Dept
It aligns with the effort that we make, the more we sell, the more the commission.
Review from Sales Dept
The fact that it is fairly evenly distributed between MBOs and team-related income
Review from Sales Dept
The base salary is the best part. Bonus is okay, Equity is not even close to being competitive. Either we need to bump equity higher or move the amount into base and get rid of equity all together.
Review from HR Dept
Health care with GU health
Review from Customer Success Dept
the signing bonus was the best part
Review from Customer Success Dept
LSA benefits, good for personal use
Review from IT Dept
discount in the cafeteria, ubers to work from metro station
Review from HR Dept
OTE is very competitive, though the LTI is not
Review from Sales Dept
insurance benefits and overall value provided
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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.
Review from Executive Dept
I feel due to long sales cycles and a focus on larger deals , missing your target is more likely. There needs to be a consideration , if a deal is 6mth or longer you may not earn any commission for long periods of time. This needs to be addressed
Review from Sales Dept
The market is constantly offering me better conditions. Salary increase, flexible and geographically tailored benefits. Geographically tailored investment options that are more fiscally beneficial and manageable from outside the US pension plan...
Review from Customer Success Dept
I recently transitioned roles and have been getting paid at the baseline of my new role despite having more experience and knowledge than someone else who might be coming from elsewhere to start in this role. I think my experience with Appian warrants better pay in this new role.
Review from Engineering Dept
Base pay has changed very little over the past few years despite inflation and Appian becoming profitable. It would be good to see more commitment to employee wellbeing by increasing pay regularly and finding more ways to reward employees
Review from Engineering Dept
Annual salary increases are becoming less significant, and changing categories does not result in a meaningful salary improvement. This makes it difficult to perceive real growth within the company, leading to the feeling that it's easier to achieve better compensation outside of Appian.
Review from Customer Success Dept
more direct alignment of comp to long-term company performance
Review from Engineering Dept
A competitive base salary and stock package
Review from Engineering Dept
I know for a fact I have been underpaid by at least 20% for a long time. I accepted this when I felt respected and valued by the company in other ways. Since 2022 and the RTO mandates, that is no longer the case. If you want me to be OK with being significantly underpaid, give me other perks.
Review from Engineering Dept
not to the market compensation level when compared to the peers.
Review from Engineering Dept
While hired at one level, the work and responsibility I have is at a higher level. My salary should be reflective of this.
Review from Marketing Dept
I have become aware of people in the company with similar roles and qualifications receive better compensation than I do. I consider that after my performance, contributions to the company, and the impact I have had on Appian during the time I have spent here, my compensation should be greater.
