Great product, Terrible approach

Business Outlook

Pros

The product is amazing. Top of the industry and constantly a leader in Forrester and Gartner reports.

Cons

Recently acquired by Thoma Bravo. Since that time the sales organization has struggled significantly. High turnover due to a sales process that doesn't work well, horrible compensation plan, and complete lack of care for employees.

Anaplan Response

We believe it will help Anaplan become a category-defining company by helping our customers outperform their peers by continuously making the best decisions across their business without friction.

Your feedback is appreciated – please don’t hesitate to speak with your manager or HRBP if you have input they could help address. - Carey Pellock, CPO

Not like other SDR jobs

Sales development representative (sdr)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good Can make money if you are lucky to be aligned with aggressive AEs. (As you are dependent on their commitment and follow through for your commission)

Cons

Your commission isn’t entirely based on your success, half is based on what your AE does after you hand off the opportunity to them. You can potentially put in a lot of work be successful but still not get paid commission due to that structure. Got rid of the entire SMB division recently, so no chance for SDR advancement. An SDR or the year finalist was advised that they’d have to leave company to become an AE (as they only employ Enterprise AE’s now, & they require years of enterprise experience.) Expected to work 1 or 2 hours after business hours a few times a week for learning and administrative duties. Poor corporate organizational skills across the board (VP’s-SDR management), constantly rescheduling meetings, huddles, 1 on 1’s, enablement sessions up to 3/4 times a week.

Anaplan Response

I appreciate you taking time to offer feedback on your experience. Our Roadmap for Profitable Growth Strategy is clearly articulated by our leadership and drives all functional, team and individual goals. We are committed to this strategy and excited to see how our global team is contributing in innovative ways and with disciplined execution. I encourage you to speak with your manager or HRBP about any specific issues we can help address. - Carey Pellock, CPO
