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

Solid product, with some very intelligent people working for the organization.

Cons

Over the course of my tenure, Anaplan has never ceased to amaze be by how little they value their employees. This can largely be summarized by leadership's mantra "customer first". What that really means, is REVENUE above everything. Any organization worth their while would value their employees over everything else. That's how you create an organization with strong culture. Instead, my time at Anaplan was spent watching employee after employee get mistreated, and tossed aside without reason. Turnover here is higher than anywhere I've been in my career, and a lot of that stems from the poor HR team (who regularly fills this page with inflated 5-star reviews).

Thank you for your honest feedback. We agree that valuing our employees is the most important thing we can do. We try very hard to Live Our Values Everyday (LOVE) with a focus on how we treat our employees. We encourage and seek feedback through our open forums such as our Company Updates and FAQs. We welcome our new employees with our global onboarding program, update everyone in real-time with our intranet, the Barn and even make a little fun of ourselves with Between Two Barns. We also invested heavily in our new global offices, provided a shutdown at the end of December, and offered a new employee stock purchase program right after we went public. However, we will never get it perfect, and we are always seeking to improve. Since you are a current employee, we strongly recommend that you speak to your manager or HR partner about your concerns. We want to hear your solutions on how we can improve. We will take all of your points into consideration as we continue to create an optimal workplace for our employees. If you’d be open to discuss any of this live, I’d value the opportunity. My email is mike.leary@anaplan.com. Thank you. Mike Leary Global Head of Talent Acquisition
