Pluspunten

Nice offices and perks. Nice engineers. Good place to get some experience with a growing company.

Minpunten

Product Misconceptions, a lot of propaganda, and much domineering one-upsmanship all over. For example, Appian (and others) claims to be a low code development environment, but in my role, it was anything but if you wanted to configure robust workflows. The out of the box apps were way too generic and had little functionality. When giving demos we were instructed not to show how to configure using code, which is really the only way to build some apps. By saying things over and over again, the managers believed that we would eventually think these things were true. If we ever tried to demo outside of the corporate guidelines, we were reprimanded. So, no room for creativity and not the place to be if you have trouble with overbearing authority. Senior execs are sleazy and disconnected with a younger workforce.

Thank you for sharing your experience. You should know we take reviews here very seriously. However, we are having a hard time with a reply unless we know which role and department you work within, as we have several positions at Appian that work on demos with our clients. Appian does emphasize building with its drag and drop interface over using code, since our focus is on low-code development. We pride ourselves in creating an environment that fosters creativity and growth (both vertically and horizontally), and encourage you to share feedback with your direct manager so we can work to make change.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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