      Read a real review, by a real employee: Anaplan, good if you're a customer, bad if you're an employee.

      Pros

      Good office location. Good effort on the CEO to have a platform for transparency. There are 'Frank Answers' sessions about 1x month.

      Cons

      Lies about office flexibility working from home... facilities is always making a big deal about being at your desk. Seniors play favorites and allow some team members to work from home 2x a week, but then others are required to be in office everyday. High turnover. Lack of communication among teams because of split teams across too many locations, resulting in redundancies/overlap in job functions. CAREER GROWTH - they RARELY promote internally, unless your bffs with the head of your dept, or if everyone above you gets fed up and leaves… which has happened TOO many times. TOO MANY POLITICS. With so many changes going on within the company, people who play nasty and are hostile are somehow rewarded... even promoted... Favoritism is real here and extremely clique-ish. (VERY, very clique-ish and not enough diversity or socialization) MANUAL PROCESS (oh god it hurts) - still in a time of manual processes. where people refuse to let go of control. I work with team members who don't know BASIC excel... THE FACILITIES - Our facilities team aren't the best. They think people are happy in the office (they aren't)... The job descriptions say they have catered lunch, but the only thing they cater is breakfast (1x a week)... Trashcans are in a terrible location, they aren't cleaned often enough. They attempt to select the healthy snacks, but no one on that team claims to knows anything about health or nutrition. We're out-growing the office... there isn't enough space and the planning of the building wasn't well thought out for 'HYPER GROWTH.'

      We appreciate you calling out the FAQ (Frank Answers Questions) sessions. All of our leaders try hard to lead by example of being transparent, communicative, and open, one of our key company values. We have been focused heavily on providing extensive training and support. We recently completed our “Managing for Growth” training, a company-wide initiative to train all people managers on how to provide ongoing feedback, performance and development for their teams. In addition, we have created tools and resources to help employees take charge of their own growth and development. We created a “Planning Your Development” portal on our intranet where you can take a live, interactive self-assessment to help identify what growth and development opportunities are available to you. We also offer numerous other all company trainings, including Tilt, Reality Based Leadership (RBL), and Moments That Matter. We are always trying to improve the way we communicate with and develop our most valuable resource: our employees. We appreciate your feedback, and if you want to follow up, feel free to reach out to your HRBP, or directly to me at mike.leary@anaplan.com. Sincerely, Mike

      Pros

      -Intelligent, innovative, and open employees -The ability to disrupt the marketplace with an incredible product -Everyone here wants to succeed both personally and as a company -An incredible CCO who is committed to delighting our customers and is focused on the mission of our product and services -A CEO who has helped us change the culture to get back to our roots of transparency, focused on the customer, and will treat our employees fair -Fast moving Customer centered company -Positive progress to develop our employees

      Cons

      -The possibility of burnout is high with long hours and high stress for those who are managers and doers. You have to really determine needs for yourself, and make it your own priority as no one else will. -Change happens every day here, so come here only if you are ready and resilient.

      Be Very Careful!!

      Pros

      1) The overall product offering is solid. One of the best products in the space. 2) Still not yet, IPO, so opportunity for a quick hit, but first part of options don't vest until after one year of employment.

      Cons

      1) Some managers were good, other's were not. I had the experience to work with some managers that I would classify as above average, and also had the experience of working with a manager that will probably go down as the worst manager I have worked with in my career. 2) Make sure you know your territory exactly before going in. I was oversold on the opportunity, and the territory I was offered in the interview process, was not what I eventually received. 3) Main focus is on going public, and several of the core people will most likely cash out and move on after IPO. 4) Poor culture-management by fear and realistic expectations. Everyone was so on edge, no one really worked well together. 5) Quotas are completely unrealistic to support the growth management is looking for to go public. Less than 5% of reps in North America made their number when I was there.
