Pros

The challenge of the market makes everyday really fun and interesting. It's not a monotonous place to work. The product is really cool and helps me get my job done and make smart decisions on a daily basis. The autonomy and trust that leadership has in their people is encouraging and allows me to add creativity in my role. Access to leadership and understanding the vision makes it easy to feel supported with the decisions I make. Very clear message and strategy that feels easy to align to. I feel like I can take a few hours off for an appointment and my manager trusts that I will get the work done - Anaplan is not a place where micromanagement happens.

Cons

I can't think of any major ones. Maybe that we are both an email and a slack culture, so communication happens in a lot of places and can sometimes be hard to keep up!

Strategic Chaos & Toxic Culture - Avoid Anaplan

Pros

You will be well compensated.

Cons

After my experience at Anaplan, I feel obligated to warn potential candidates. The complete lack of a coherent OKR framework creates an environment where goals remain deliberately ambiguous, making it impossible to demonstrate success. This ambiguity appears designed to facilitate easier layoffs, as performance becomes subjective rather than measured against clear objectives. The leadership operates without a unified strategy, resulting in constantly shifting priorities and abandoned initiatives. Resources are routinely misallocated, creating unrealistic deadlines and burnout. The toxic work culture was perhaps most alarming. Office politics dictate advancement, with favorites receiving opportunities while talented team members are sidelined. Cross-functional collaboration is virtually nonexistent due to departmental silos. If you value your time, talent, and wellbeing, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for opportunities where your contributions will be measured fairly and genuinely valued.

Pros

Above average salary, remote, seems to be a strong product

Cons

Onboarding is non-existent, constant disruption with reps leaving or dismissed monthly, no plan for GTM motion, no pipe gen motion, 100% outbound w/ no SDR support. Prospects have no idea what Anaplan is and cannot afford or utilize a solution that is as complex to implement or use as the Anaplan solution.
