As of December 31, 2024, we had a total global workforce of 2,033 employees, 1,339 of which were based in the United States. None of our U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations are good, and we have not experienced any work stoppages. Additionally, we are subject to, and comply with, local labor law requirements in all countries in which we operate.

Excellence and Intensity

We have two foundational values, the most important qualities that an Appian person must have: Excellence and Intensity. Every hiring decision, every promotion, and every public commendation is based on these values. Excellence means we have high standards, and we live up to them. Everything Appian does is done well. Intensity means we’re all-in. We’re ambitious. We bring our full self to work and our full commitment. We care about the outcome. We take the results of our work personally. We assert ourselves. We hold people to account, even if it’s uncomfortable, because we take pride in our team’s work. Raising the bar is part of being a leader at Appian.         

Belonging

We respect all people. We believe diverse ideas and an inclusive environment are paramount to our continued success. We also believe our individual experiences and knowledge enable us to learn from one another and discover creative solutions. We sponsor a number of affinity groups, initiated by employees, that aim to build stronger internal and external networks and partnerships, create a positive lasting impact through social and educational outreach, and create development opportunities for future leaders.

Talent Acquisition and Development

We have a robust talent acquisition program to attract, recruit, and retain new talent. We utilize an extensive campus recruiting program, provide an employee referral program, and offer opportunities for internal transfers, as well as competitive compensation and benefits programs. We also provide resources to help our employees grow in their current roles and build new skills, including access to Appian University, a system that houses Appian's in-house learning and development solutions.

Sales and Marketing 

Our sales and marketing teams work together closely to market and sell our software platform and services. We sell to enterprises across a range of industries, including government, financial services, insurance, and
