Pros

Some excellent and helpful engineers

Cons

Zero communication from top level management, engineers valued as second-class, toxic atmosphere, unhappy staff, no leadership. How to go from amazing to appauling in less than a year!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad you feel you work with talented engineers at Anaplan. The Executive Committee (EC) and I take your feedback seriously and are committed to improving the employee experience. Employee feedback is fundamental to Anaplan’s success, so we’ve established a few ways you and your colleagues can share your concerns, questions, and ideas with leadership. This includes monthly live Q&As with the EC during our company all-hands meetings, Q&As during our Global Technology Organization all hands meetings, and multiple employee surveys asking for your experience and thoughts on new programs and initiatives. I believe in an open-door policy, so if you’d like to discuss your experience in more detail, please reach out to your manager, EC member, HRBP or directly to me. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer

Pros

The product is still one of the few out there doing what it does - but new entrants are emerging like Board, etc.' The salary out of the gate was very good.

Cons

My experience with the sales managers and former CEO of the company was lackluster. Frank Caldaroni's application of Cy Wakeman's No Ego mentality was completely flawed and failed to take into account the weaknesses of the management - not the employee. I saw rampant favoritism and extremely weak enablement programs. Anaplan has a very challenged approach to supporting partners and a very strange approach to Customer Success. I hardly understand how this function came to exist and never saw any value as a result. The company tries to make it look like they are a big supporter of DEI initiatives but reality is that it's a white Silicon Valley Tech Bro culture.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you felt well compensated and that we offer a game-changing product. Anaplan is solving C-level problems for some of the world’s largest and most complex organizations, and we’re proud of the value we are delivering. Thanks to our customer success team, we offer a world-class customer experience that empowers our customers so we can achieve incredible outcomes for their business together. I can’t speak to the previous leadership team at Anaplan, but what I can speak to is the passion Anaplanners have for building a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where people feel they belong. We recently shared our multi-year DEIB strategy with employees, and while we have work to do, I’m excited to make measurable progress. To reinforce our commitment, our CEO recently signed the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge, the largest business-led initiative for advancing DEI in the workplace. We wish you the best in your future endeavors. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer
