Pros

Legacy culture and talent are strong despite the loss of top talent to the broader ecosystem. The platform is

Cons

New owners are the epitome of corporate America - profit focussed at all costs. Anaplan's ethos and culture has declined under the management style of old. Investment in the platform is narrow vs holistic

Great team, support, learning opportunities for analytical thinkers interested in finical model-building

C-suite making decisions to outsource jobs abroad, frequent change of direction and unit leadership. Lack of flexibility and cross-team collaboration if one is looking to grow and develop skills.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are very competitive.

Cons

This company was acquired by a private equity firm that has no interest in people but just their EBITA. The target is constantly changing. There is a culture of high pressure sales. Leadership has a false sense that you can tell the customer when and how they need to purchase multi-year million dollar contracts. They don't do things in the customer's time frame, but rather use tactics of unnecessarily raising the cost if a customer doesn't sign within obituary deadlines that are imposed by leadership. Their are several AVPs that have no respect for employees or clients, especially if you are a woman. Leadership routinely used profanity in meetings talk ill of potential customers by calling them idiots. They also have a habit of sharing personal HR information with peers without cause expect to belittle individuals. The level of unprofessionalism is beyond belief. If you feel compelled to speak up you become the enemy and in some cases you will be fired without any valid reason. They have routinely posted Slack Message sent out to groups bad mouthing and lying about former employees. Anaplan states they stand on diversity and equality, but their actions are the exact opposite. If you a person of color or a female this is not a good place to work. Go to the executive leadership page on their website and you will see the lack of diversity from the top down. In short DO NOT work here. Even though the pay is good it isn't worth it.

They’re also excited about the positive steps we’re making to help our customers outperform their peers by continuously making the best decisions across their business without friction – all while continuing to build a Winning Culture. We are proud of the progress we’ve made over the past two years, and many of our team members share that sentiment – at our most recent monthly all hands meeting, approximately 90% of survey participants have a positive outlook about the company. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. - Carey Pellock, CPO
