Pros

Anaplan has some very very smart and talented people working for the company and the lower levels. The sales people are very talented and the professional services team is very strong and intrinsically motived (see extrinsic motivations for their dept below under Cons). Anaplan has also done a great job in molding a reputation for the company that they are a cloud leader.

Cons

The management culture is absolutely toxic. The hours you work are insane and thankless and the management says they want to help but in reality they don't care. Things are promised, and I mean literally promised, and not delivered on. They will try to get your salary down as low as possible, and there are zero "performance review" structures in place and so it's impossible to get recognized for hard work that you put in, especially if you're in professional services/customer success and spend most of your time on the road. The turnover in some departments (not sales) like CS is EXTREMELY high, and the morale is terrible, especially for a company that is growing so quickly and touts their great company culture.

Pros

Overall the product itself is excellent if you are simply looking to build an MS-Excel spreadsheet in the cloud while collaborating with other users. It has a multi-dimensional component to it as well that replaces the difficulty of pivot tables.

Cons

The Apps on their App Exchange have no real best practices or capabilities built into them. Your kind of back to the basics of building a real solution from the ground up ever time. The reporting is terrible with a significant lack of visualizations. There is also a lack of audit tracking - once you change something you loose it. No effective dating.
