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.

Pros

Good memories from pre-TB days

Cons

Anaplan, once a leading force in the realm of FP&A, has faced significant criticism following its acquisition by Thoma Bravo. The company's once vibrant culture, characterized by innovation and customer-centricity, has suffered under the new leadership. Thoma Bravo's relentless pursuit of profitability at any cost has resulted in a destructive shift away from prioritizing the needs and satisfaction of customers. The acquisition has seen a disregard for the core values that once defined Anaplan, with a focus solely on short-term financial gains. This shortsighted approach has led to a neglect of the company's product development and innovation, undermining its ability to meet the evolving needs of its users. Furthermore, the emphasis on profitability above all else has fostered an environment where employee morale and engagement have plummeted. The erosion of the once-strong company culture has left many disillusioned and disheartened, leading to talent attrition and further exacerbating the company's challenges. In conclusion, Thoma Bravo's stewardship of Anaplan has been marked by a detrimental disregard for the company's culture and customers. The relentless pursuit of profitability without considering the long-term implications has undermined the company's potential and alienated both employees and users alike

Thank you for providing your feedback. Innovation is one of our Strategic Priorities and a key driver in our transformational journey to become a category-defining company. Every employee in our company – whether they work in our product and technology organization, in sales, in HR or elsewhere – is responsible for embracing innovation in their work every day. On my team, this work includes continuing to build a Winning Culture and making sure our employees find purpose in their work and know how their work contributes to our larger strategy and long-term goals. Measuring employee feedback is part of this winning culture – and a key metric to help us identify where we are doing well and where we can do better. Based on feedback from our monthly all-hands meetings, approximately 90% of our employees indicated they have a positive outlook about the company’s future. I hope you’ll take time to speak with your manager or HRBP to address your specific issues. -Carey Pellock, CPO
