Pros

Revolutionary planning product that is creating a paradigm shift in the enterprise planning world. Top talent among the worker bees who believe in the Anaplan vision. A SaaS subscription business model that attracts top investors because exit strategy looks bright. Incredible list of customers who love the product and believe in what Anaplan is doing. Amazing group of founders who started Anaplan

Cons

Salaries are not aligned with what other tech companies offer. No additional stock options once hired. Stock options granted favor former SAP employees versus loyalty. No salary increases or promotions (unless willing to walk with a competing offer.) Executive positions largely reserved for former SAP employees. Work life balance is intense. Culture deteriorating last 6 months with high attrition is certain groups. Struggling to scale with operations. HR not responsive to employees' concerns. Faster we grow, more concerns about how we are growing For candidates interested in working here, take your time with recruiting process and ask smart questions

Pros

It's exhilarating and intellectually-stimulating. You have the opportunity to work with amazing people that motivate you to do your best. You feel like you're working on a winning product that solves real problems in the market place. Highly intelligent leadership. Positive environment.

Cons

We're growing so fast that it's hard for recruiting to keep up at times! We're already outgrowing our beautiful new space! We need a South Bay Office.

Pros

Huge market - high on the agenda for most organisations, and especially the largest one. Just have a look at the list of blue chip customers and partners Technology breakthrough - unique on the market. Users love it and are vocal about (some even wrote songs about it and cartoons) Huge careers opportunities, as the company is doubling size every year, it creates a lot of opportunities and bridges between different jobs. Management not opposed to being creative Broad spectrum of applications spanning many line of business in an organisation (Finance, Sales, HR, Operations) and industries (Insurance, High Tech, CPG, Manufacturing..) Competition with top tier Mega vendors as well as Pure players - high win rate. Backed with 1st class VC's (who are also supporting disrupting companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Facebook, Twitter, Salesforce, Workday ..) Very demanding environment where it is sometimes better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission! Equities are worth the difference in terms of salary/benefit

Cons

doubling size/tripling nb of users every year mean the company has to adapt to change of scale very rapidly, as well for the people. Balance with personal life - if you enjoy your job, it will be perfect - Anaplan invites spouse/family to some events when possible since they are indirectly involved in building the ANAPLAN culture and company
