Great company, growing culture, toxic team

Pros

Overall great COMPANY. Emphasis on the word company. - Leaders are everything. I trust our CEO whole-heartedly and believe he will (and has) take this company to the next level. - Our product is terrific. It is a total leader in the market. I can not say enough good things about our product. Kudos to the product and engineering team! - Pretty open and transparent communication. Feedback is very encouraged and answers are addressed candidly. - You can see they are trying to create a more collaborative culture: new technology, new spaces, etc.

Cons

Toxic team. Emphasis on the word team. - Some leaders are not fit to scale a department and the company in the direction we need to head. Although there are talented people at the company, others have leveled up based on sheer politics. This ironically is causing talented employees to leave. - No path to promotion or professional development. Instead, efforts are focused on how to "make us get along." - Pay is not competitive in today's market. - Sometimes expectations don't match with strategy. Upper managers will often put the pressure on their teams to meet deliverables with no help: no additional resources, support, guidance, or real plan on how to get there. This is masked by echoing "we are empowering YOU to be innovative and creative. Now go figure it out!" I don't feel empowered I feel entrapped.

Many new employees getting up to speed but they are smart and highly dedicated and we are working through the challenges. Waiting for our new SF Engineering leader. Hopefully coming soon.

Few are ruining for all

Pros

There are some incredibly talented people who work for this company. Anaplan as a whole really strives to provide an innovative and flexible space to work in. Anaplan also offers a great product that really disrupts the space. Great CEO Unlimited PTO Great Maternity/Paternity Benefits

Cons

There are 1 or 2 extremely toxic people who are ruining it for everyone and causing very talented people to leave. Instead of seeing the people who are the issue, the departures of multiple people in one department are explained away as they didn't like "change" or were just creating drama. HR has basically ignored repeated complaints regarding these toxic people whereas at other companies they would have been fired for code of conduct violations a long time ago. Although the CEO is great, he is not tuned in to what is happening in some departments and the efforts of other C-Suite leaders implementing things that go against the culture that Anaplan is built on such as flexible work environments and unlimited PTO. Although Anaplan is generally a "young" company there are are people in leadership roles that are completely under qualified and were promoted without any interview or screening process. They just advocated for themselves and played the politics instead of working hard and making a difference.
