Pros

Some people are taking it easy with wfh. Lots of freedom to take care of errands, travel and put in a two hour day (usually meetings). Decent compensation for a 10 hour work week.

Cons

All the good people come and leave after maybe one year vest. Some people leave before the RSU grant because yolo and the management stupidity isn’t worth the cash. Many ICs are looking for new jobs but some good people are stuck because of H1B. Everyone talks about the churning of good engineers. They also give bad enggs big titles so they will stay. If you outstay everyone else you can be a star here too. The ceo is desperately keeping the company afloat with promises and hot air. Does anyone in management know tech? I doubt it but some of them could play Voldemort or Draco in Harry Potter. The cfo leaving recently is not a good sign. Shaky finances. Future of irrelevant tech for those unlucky to stick it out.

Pros

Exposure to modern cloud technology

Cons

Anaplan is full of incompetent managers, and it goes all the way to the top. At the technical level, managers have very basic understanding of technology, and even worse human relations skills. Apart from a few managers who actually care about their people, the majority care just about their job and looking good to those above them. There is no investment in training, professional development, work life balance, product quality, and everything that makes a workplace great. I’ve seen many hard working engineers who are constantly being put down by their insecure managers. Be ready for some serious damage to your self esteem. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. In the Bay Area there is really no reason to work in such a bad place.

Pros

Great planning solutions in the Cloud. Technology sets apart from other vendors. Good attempt to clarify vision, strategy and identity.

Cons

Is only interested selling into enterprise markets, not mid-market. Not ready to step into new emerging territories such as Germany , Middle East, etc. Very weak employer brand. Very high attrition, does not get to grips well to retain top sales talent in the US. Unclear and inefficient processes. Many leaders don't think long term. Poor internal communication. Extremely poor work-life balance due to wanting to grow too quickly
