Pros

The coworkers are great though there has been about an 85% turnover in the last few years. Peers in engineering are great to learn from and share information with - good programming skills to take to another job. Management is desperate to keep employees now so you can negotiate salary.

Cons

Senior Management including founders are egotistical and have yet to be profitable. They run their employees ragged with ridiculous hours and then don't appreciate them at the end of the day. They now appreciate those who dedicate their lives to their work but there are better options out there for a couple extra bucks. Customers and employees are generally dissatisfied with the product and Appian in general but the Sales team is great and continues to sell.

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.
