Pros

Collaborative work environment with smart friendly people. Cross-marketing, product and marketing ops collaboration is strong with everyone pitching in as necessary. Good autonomy to get your job done and I don't see a lot of micro-management. "Corporate" seems to care about its people with great programs, random company wide mental health days, executive leadership has been approachable and relatively open to two way dialog and input. Cutting edge solutions for our customers to help with integrated planning gives us a wide "every company needs Anaplan" market place backed up with magic quadrant leadership positions. Sales appreciates and works with marketing in a respectful manner. Appreciate the promote from within culture as we've seen leadership leave since the acquisition by Thoma Bravo instead of bringing lots of outsiders in.

Cons

Procurement and legal process are challenging to accomplish in a timely matter. Budgeting process is still a work in progress as budgets get adjusted by quarter even when they are set on an annual basis which makes hiring and program planning complicated.

Pros

Where to start; there is so much to like about working at Anaplan! 1. The TEAM - everyone is eager to succeed and help others succeed. Everyone leans in with most questions answered in minutes or a few hours. 2. The CULTURE - sound basics and strong emphasis on all the right things. Anaplan always seeks to do the right things and also actively stands up for things that I believe in, like equal opportunity and non-discrimination. 3. The CHALLENGE - I am constantly challenged and very often outside of my comfort zone, in a healthy way. 4. The PRODUCT - the Anaplan Platform. It's awesome and amazing what herculean planning and decision making processes it can help organisations with. There is soooo much capability there that it's almost frightening.

Cons

1. The flexibility, applicability and xp&a capabilities of the Anaplan Platform is almost too much to take in - sometimes difficult to narrow down and simplify the messaging to customers. 2. Shares. Used to have a great ESPP (employee share purchase program) as well as stock grants. This went away with Thoma Bravo PE acquisition a couple of months ago. Employees now awaiting to learn what kind of incentive programs will replace this.
