What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Growing the company and having a dynamic, fast-paced culture. It's too clinical now.

Review from Sales Dept

There needs to be a more focussed and clear sales strategy. It feels as if the company is constantly changing strategies and feels like they are just throwing darts at a dart board.

Review from Sales Dept

Change management led from the top. We need to move faster, be successful even through a hiring shift to Chennai, and use AI to get much better at our jobs - all valid needs. They could be exciting change management projects but instead are currently mandated from the top with little support.

Caring about their employees, committing to and communicating their strategy long-term, sharing Appian's financial successes with the employees

Changing their actions based on employee feedback. They love to "listen" to feedback, but I have never seen the executive team change course based on that feedback.

Compensation Reviews

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 · Posted 19 days ago

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 · Posted 19 days ago

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.

Higher pay to be competitive with market

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 19 days ago

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

without clear strategy, we get caught up in chasing admin work and working on the project du jour. I feel as is I am not able to commit the appropriate time to building enterprise strategy for customers.

Review from Sales Dept

The HR mission and goals are focused on company goals, and have very little to do with the actual "Human" side of Human Resources. Too many policies are "one size fits all" that don't take into account variations in job function, team dynamics, or individual work styles.

Review from HR Dept

At this point I’m not sure any suggestion would be listened to or acted on. It seems the executives want to stay tight lipped but front the idea they are listening. I’m dedicated and want to keep working here, but it seems like every f

Review from Sales Dept

For the last decade, the top problem has been that Appian is hard to do business with. There's only so much anyone outside of Sales can do to help with that. Serious churn and reorg in Sales + Marketing, especially the exec leaders, doesn't inspire confidence that we've figured out how to do better.

Review from Product Dept

Lack of interest by executives in employee needs or opinions. This is especially evident by the incoming 9-5 five day in-office RTO policy that's incredibly unpopular across the company.
