Great product, leadership and career growth for Customer Success Team needs improvement.

Anonymous

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exceptional product capability, in the right hands unbeatable in the market place.

Cons

Lack of recognition, career path opportunities or incentive programs for the solution architects and model builders who are really the most qualified individuals to fill leadership positions and ensure the future success and growth of the customer success team. Management positions have been filled by individuals who have not learned how to use the product or developed the understanding of how and why an Anaplan engagement is different then an SAP engagement or any other SaaS engagement. Leadership skills and communication have had more than enough time to develop but remain non existent, moral is at an all time low as a result.

It's not hard to get excited about work when the company you work for is just "EXCITING"!!

Pros

I like to think of a Anaplan as a small, fast growing, dynamic and agile company that takes itself seriously. The product is just epic, so powerful and disruptive, displacing the big boys who thought they owned the space. The calibre of my colleagues is top notch, learning so much just working alongside them. Lots of opportunities everywhere. Remote working makes the work/life balance easier to manage.

Cons

Everyone's super busy and things are constantly changing... It's good and bad. Not working in San Francisco (Head Office), it's sometimes easy to feel "out of the loop"... Never for long though. Managing meetings and calls in different time-zones is a challenge sometimes.

Pros

great product and was once a great company to work for.

Cons

Management has 1 goal and that is to IPO. Anyone is disposable and there is no thought to anything else. The busy work for sales is more than I have ever seen. The arrogance of upper management is unreal. Most of the reviews were all a result of management asking employees to do so. The worst was the email asking for employees to give the CEO high ratings.
