Pros

Smart people around and challenging work. Providing opportunities to college graduates.

Cons

Appian provided 3 weeks of intensive training and I got let go on the last day of training. Appian has "evaluation" or "demo" type of final project at the end of the training.... Trying for IT company when you didn't major in CS or similar fields was very challenging.....

Thank you for sharing your experience in Appian Academy. It's not meant to be easy but I'm sorry to hear you were let go. The majority of Appian consultants are not CS majors since our platform enables business people to create apps without writing code. The presentation or "demo" you mention is typically a great opportunity for non-CS majors (like me) to shine but it's also part of our focus on collaboration in all aspects of the business. For the best idea to win, it has to be heard.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
