Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the interview process at Appian. Senior Account Executive roles are highly competitive and highly compensated. The process typically begins with a brief phone screen and then is followed by a phone interview with a senior sales leader before we take the time to bring someone on-site. You should never have been told an interview at Appian is a "formality" and I have debriefed with the recruiting team to make sure this doesn't happen again but a senior sales candidate should remember a deal is never closed until it's signed. If you have other questions, feel free to contact me directly.
