Pros

I started before the acquisition and quickly saw the shift in dynamics. Nothing to see here other than a toxic environment and desperate director cutting throats for their own.

Cons

Desperate people do desperate things. Find another option if you’re able to. Anaplan doesn’t even know how use their own platform for their own purposes… speaks volumes.

TB takeover have left the company in tatters

Pros

The people within the company

Cons

Since the takeover in 2022 by Thoma Bravo the company has steadily been stripped of the identity and resources that used to make it thrive. We are gaslight by the board and force-fed condescending corporate speel. The writing was on the wall since the takeover but since the pivot to out-source the majority of engineering roles, there is little future for employees. You can see many reviews for these takeovers by TB and I can attest that this is all pretty accurate. No chance for a future in these companies and you're better jumping than being pushed

Pros

Wonderful people, good compensation at time of hiring (which pre-dated the TB acquisition), a product positioned well for the times

Cons

The place has turned into a SaaS goat rodeo. There's clearly a deranged belief that they can cut their way to profitability, which is removing any chance of the company delivering for its customers. Offshoring engineering in a competitive space? We constantly say our customers need to be more agile, but we're now less able to respond to their needs or to competitors' moves. Innovation is a thing of the past. If you're planning to sell the IP you paid for, Thoma Bravo, you'd better do it quick. Meanwhile, the new leadership spent a major part of the first quarter coming up with new "company values," which are a complete farce. If you're going to demolish the company culture, people aren't going to be distracted from that by a corny acronym and the use of the word "empathy" every other sentence. The company was challenged with some pretty formidable goals at the start of the year, and some parts of the organization are on target to exceed those goals. But that doesn't actually matter - layoffs and cost-cutting are more important to Thoma Bravo than actual success. They purchased an amazing asset in the people at the company and threw it away.
