Pros
Genuinely kind coworkers who want to help you be well. A culture truly open to feedback and improvement - the C level folks demand it. Underdog status (for now) keeps hubris out and innovation levels high. Despite underdog status, the software is truly spectacular and used by many huge, influential organizations around the world. Fast paced culture, nothing is ever stale here. Also, breakfast served on Mondays. Nummy. Lovely office, team dedicated to employee career growth, everyone here has a solid tenure - always a good sign. The company also pays for you and your family to go to an annual company retreat! Fun for all!
Cons
Benefits/PTO could be better. Reston Town Center location can be far for true DC residents. Expense system and system to log hours suck - but that's not Appian software. Appian just needs to boot it for something better.
