Anaplan reviews

- company is run by execs with a heavy sense of self importance/self entitlement (imagine a place where every exec is SO important that they have their own EA and their own dedicated conference room) - employees are underpaid relative to SF/valley standards. salaries and promotions are based on market research data -- doesn't take into account actual contribution or goals employees have met. you're just thrown into some market research formula and told you should be happy that you at least got something - management mentality is that employees are idiots and the attitude feels like "if you work here, fine, and if you want to leave, well, you probably weren't right for the company anyway" - upper management is not transparent down to middle management or below. - no real prospects for upward mobility; company heavily hires from SAP/Oracle/SuccessFactors and other types of big and bloated corporate entities. Nothing what you would call 'valley startup DNA' really exists here. - new employees are required to dig ditches in the ground and clean up trash as part of a required labor program for a week long orientation and enablement training - company is super bloated. 600 people and so many redundant and unnecessary positions - separate offices between SF and York creates a disjointed culture. teams in SF are managed by people in York. No actual cohesion within groups or between groups.

I don't see any cons working here. Every startup has growing pains and Anaplan is doing a great job to fix these as they come. I did wish they had health benefits for money towards gym/classes.
