It’s hard to read reviews like this one. We take this feedback seriously, and we thank you for taking the time to write it. We have introduced our Customer First initiative, and one of the key elements of that initiative is taking care of our people. We are heavily focused on our culture, and we are underway with a number of projects to become the company we aspire to be.

Proceed cautiously! Politics and unclear direction ahead.

Pros

Strong software offering Solid benefits package Smart colleagues

Cons

No clearly communicated organizational strategy, direction, vision, or purpose Completely absent human resources function Executive and senior leadership teams riddled with politics and yes-men Lip service but no actual commitment to diversity Most of the best talent here has (or is planning to) leave; recruiting function is too understaffed to keep up with backfills and hiring plans, under-investments in supporting areas like talent, administration have put the company at a significant disadvantage Talent pool is often cannibalized by the partner and customer ecosystems

We thank you for your feedback as we have a lot of work ahead of us. We are very close to laying out a clear vision, strategy and mission. We also agree that attracting and retaining the right talent is critical to our future. This is something we are investing in and it is something we intend to make a specialty of ours.

Pros

Fun, youthful culture, good perks, decent compensation. The product itself really is fantastic. Many smart folks here and there's always something to learn.

Cons

Rudderless leadership apart from Simon's customer focus and product development. If you're not in the sales org, your contributions are not considered and your opportunity for advancement is effectively nil. Professional development doesn't exist in the Anaplan vocabulary. They hire almost exclusively externally and little emphasis is placed on internal advancement. This will be a hindrance for growth once the company reaches maturity.
