After getting sweet talked and the carrot dangled in front of my face, and taking a role that I believed I would excel at, I learned two weeks into my role that I had made a horrible mistake from joining this organization. The level of anxiety and stress that is put upon you and being told you're never good enough is not what you want to hear, especially after those that have left reach out to you and tell you to start looking for another job bc it's only going to get worse. Think you're going to be part of the team? You'll never feel like one since everyone is on pins and needles doing their work in order to survive and keep their jobs.
After the acquiring from Thoma Bravo, it is clear that the push for profits is the main priority at the expense of it's global employees. The new CEO brought in a majority of his C-Suite team and others from Neustar to create it's 2.0 version with Anaplan; simply, it's not happening. The highly curated monthly all hands that are so scripted and planned are beyond ridiculous and fake to give a narrative that the company is doing well and that we are in it together. The level of micromanagement is beyond comprehension for trying to control the narrative to make them look good in TB's eyes to become profitable. Meetings that could have been an email, and the levels of follow-up meetings is beyond ridiculous to solve a simple problem especially when you have teams in global time zones. Anaplan has lost a true sense of direction of who they need to be as an organization in the global market, but also how they should lead their people from how the company was originally founded.
The HR department is still a disaster and are for the protection of the company, not you as an employee. Benefits and HRBPs half the time can't give straight answers. The microaggressions that come from there to it's employees has seen some real talent leave. They have a stronghold to control the narrative that even the community watering hole section of when you join here on this site, there are curated questions asked by HR leadership to catch what their employees think of the company or are doing. The CHRO (also from Neustar) is incompetent and is so submissive to the CEO as his pet that if she was asked to jump off a cliff for him, she would.
I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone thinking they are gong to get any experience out of it. They secretly lay off good engineers and other top level executives that may have different viewpoints of the c-suite.
In sum - Go somewhere else. You won't be happy here.
