Pros

SAP employees First time CEO, VPs and management Ceo made it clear we are not going to IPO in the next 3-5years (He wants to wait for the perfect opportunity, once our competitors surpass what we have)

Cons

- I was with Anaplan for more than 3years, during my tenure I have received zero bonus, little tiny raise and no promotion - Salary isn't on par in the bay area - Took a risk joining Anaplan and I didn't get anything out of it

Chaos and poorly managed

Pros

Free snacks, good location, product is decent I guess. Can't think of anything else honestly.

Cons

As many of the 1 or 2 star reviews suggest, Anaplan is a company built on deception of a 'great startup'. Anaplan is ruled as a dictatorship under the leader Emperor Fred Laluyaux, all departments and employees must kowtow to all his wishes and requests. All middle, C-level, and VP managers are weak, including the CTO who is intimidated and makes decisions at the behest of the Emperor. The Emperor always claims that Anaplan is a 'fast moving' and the 'culture is not for everyone' which is a great excuse for basically saying we have a really bad culture. The most fitting description of Anaplan can be summarized as 'chaos'. The company has a knack for inducing and stoking a chaotic work environment. Everything from lack of process, to backstabbing colleagues, and the BS that's constantly being promoted by HR and marketing. It's a very toxic work environment. Never experienced anything so toxic in my career. As previous reviews have mentioned, the emperor has been recruiting low-level SAP managers to serve his conquest as VPs and SVPs, so you'll often find that there are a lot of incompetent managers with lofty job titles and golden parachutes. If you like chaos and toxicity in a work environment. Anaplan is a great company for you! Also, this reviewer can confirm that HR did in-fact tell the company to write up faulty reviews of the company.

Cons

Management team really seem to not know what they are doing at times main focus is to get the business to IPO and then senior leaders will just exit Employee's massively undervalued and can be undermined irrespective of how senior they are in the business Company is losing its identity and fast becoming another run of the mill San Fran tech house Has become a home for ex SAP employee's
