Exceptionally bad for employees after Thoma Bravo acquisition
Pros
I worked here for over 4 years and had some really good times . Had some great challenges to solve and wonderful colleagues to work with . While they were a public company , they used to pay Engineers quite well (350k for senior engineers and 500k for principal was possible)
Cons
Went from 5 stars to 1 star after TB takeover(I had put a 5 star review about 2 years back). Was an amazing people friendly company before the takeover. Private Equity bought Anaplan at a premium rate when the market was hot and now they want to reduce costs aggressively (Similar to Elon musk's Twitter play). Almost half of engineering was let go with pathetic severance(1 week per year of service) and significant outsourcing . Come here only if you have no other choice.You are not going to learn anything from a tech standpoint because now they only care about keeping the lights on for the platform and not investing in new areas. The new compensation philosophy is a joke and you almost will not get equity anymore(You might but that equity is fairly useless)- so overall comps will significantly reduce. You could very well go work for a bank and make the same money doing 9-5 than working at this toxic hellhole. Absolutely toxic leadership and zero empathy
