What happened to culture and innovation?

Pros

A lot of fun talented people, including the founders! Big budgets for parties (that may be changing). The product works.

Cons

There's a major company culture breakdown, and lack of innovation. One symptom of the breakdown is the incredible turnover at high and low levels. Talented employees disappear overnight. It's unheard of for similar companies. It might be someone quitting or getting let go. The company culture is frequently described as "toxic" in different groups. Check out the other reviews even after losing the CEO (ignore the rosy ones by hiring managers). We've got a serious lack of trust of senior leadership and management. To make matters worst, decisions are top-down with no transparency, major strategies change on a whim, and decision-maker rarely have their ears open to the great ideas from down below. It's baffling as a silicon valley "unicorn" that we've had basically no innovation for last 2 years except the "app hub" (releases are documented on the website).

Pros

Anaplan has a unique value proposition. It is the Smart Business Platform, helping companies large and mid-size companies plan and make advanced decisions for every area of their business. Because of the large positive impact that Anaplan can make for companies, the market potential is huge and Anaplan has grown very fast. Working here, I have the opportunity to impact the growth and participate in it. I've grown on a personal and professional level myself and I have the opportunity to mentor new employees. The company has the potential to be an epic brand.

Cons

When a company grows this fast, sometimes the internal processes and communication have to catch up to the company. Management is working on that.
