Pros

colleagues (not management) Nice offices Lots of industry knowledge

Cons

Don’t listen to staff feedback HR completely invisible - never met anyone from HR in more than a yr Made to feel very much a second class citizen, beneath sales and marketing Lots of office cliques - if you’re not part of one, its a lonely place to work

Pros

Good compensation. Some talented engineers still remain. Product/tech is really interesting to work on.

Cons

An acronym-obsessed executive team are implementing change for it's own sake without having any idea of the meaning of anything that they're doing, in an embarrassingly desperate attempt to shake profitability out of the business. They are narrow-mindedly sales and marketing focused. They don't care about or understand engineers, or respect that we have a technical grasp of what needs to be done to make amazing software real. They are implementing micro-managing tripe that you'd find in call centres where management have zero trust in their workforce. Their meddling is a massive distraction from getting any actual engineering done. They don't care about diversity and inclusion and are fostering a toxic environment. They respond with aggression if anyone brings up any concerns in legitimate forums. They are cancelling flexible working arrangements and working from home with no justification or evidence - ignoring the fact that engineering has been way, way more productive since we all started working from home. I would not try to join this organisation with a view to building a career here as a software engineer. Those of us left are pretty much trying to keep our heads down and hope for the best. Lots have already abandoned ship.

Anaplan Response

I appreciate you sharing feedback. I’m glad to hear you feel well compensated and that working on our platform and technology is stimulating for engineers. I too am excited about our product roadmap and the critical work you and the engineering team are doing to make our platform indispensable to customers. I know there has been a lot of change recently. The Executive Committee (EC) has been reviewing programs and pilots and updating or phasing out a few that were implemented during the height of the pandemic and are no longer relevant or were determined not to be equitable or inclusive of all employees. I strongly support an open-door policy and believe feedback is fundamental to our success. I want to learn more about your experience. Please reach out to your manager, EC member, HRBP or directly to me. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer
