I have met 2 of the Founders and they appear very engaged.
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 4 days ago
They are personable and seem like they genuinely care.
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 7 days ago
I like how open and honest they are and seem to take feedback seriously. They are also involved in the day to day.
Review from Finance Dept · Posted 7 days ago
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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.
Review from Product Dept
Caring about their employees, committing to and communicating their strategy long-term, sharing Appian's financial successes with the employees
Review from Engineering Dept
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.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Able working 4 days per week

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Improvements to cash bonus percentages and equity.
Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 8 days ago
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
What are some of the best things about your team?
Coming together really feels like being in a good team, close to a group of friends, rather than a just group of people that work for the same company
Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 3 days ago
They fix problems rather than playing the blame game, and they're kind.
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 4 days ago
Very engaged and willing to colloborate
Review from Sales Dept · Posted 4 days ago
They're nice to me at work
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 7 days ago
I love my co-worker and she has strengths that are my weakness and vice versa. Balance each other. Good attitude as well. The rest of the stakeholders I work with are also very open to help and collaborate
Review from Finance Dept · Posted 7 days ago
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Collaboration is lacking, when processes change or need support they become burdensome to handle without adequate support.
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 7 days ago
Collaboration and growth mindset could be improved.
Review from Sales Dept
Move on from the old Appian way of working
Review from Sales Dept
I dont need to collaborate with them. I like being remote. A lot of my job falls on no ones shoulders but me
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The way we work together, the openness and the genuine way of making each other better

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Already answered in a prior question
Review from Sales Dept
Focus on people needs to return
Review from Customer Success Dept
1) Listen to the people doing the work 2) Stop treating remote employees as second class 3) Actually promote and compensate people in line with the impact of the work they are being asked to do.

Appian has a great work culture, that needs to reflect at every group level and in their functioning.

working with great sales people
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 7 days ago
When I'm able to take lunch and then go home. Talking to my co-workers is nice too.
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 7 days ago
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
