Pros

The people here are the best I've ever worked with, the compensation is good, and the lifestyle is fairly accommodating.

Cons

New owners are changing all of the things I just mentioned. Much of the compensation was in company shares which are no longer tradeable, and the 'replacement' scheme is laughable. There have been several rounds of layoffs, budget freezes, and cost cutting measures. These aren't bad by definition, but it comes at the cost of many of the soft benefits we enjoyed as employees. Many of the highest performers have left, and there's been no suggestion they will be replaced, leaving more junior members of staff struggling under the workload. Management seems to think it's a good idea to pit individuals against each other for bonuses in an all-or-nothing deal, which far from the competitive attitude I assume they were going for, creates a bitter and miserable environment. There has been near 0 communication to the company at large around the direction or the changes or the layoffs or what can be expected in the future. Morale has been at an all time low for 6 months, yet keeps getting lower every day. This has been brought up to the CEO in all hands calls and the best response he seemed to have was to suggest they will require people come into the office more? It is apparent that Thoma Bravo bought Anaplan to make short term changes that will increase company value and sell it off for a profit, leaving the chump who bought it off them with a company that is a shell of its former self, absolutely crippled by tech debt and 0 company loyalty amongst the staff.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you feel you are well compensated, have flexibility and enjoy working with your colleagues. Our Executive Committee (EC) communicates frequently with employees around company strategy, progress towards our goals, our product and technology roadmaps, and culture-building programs. Our CEO acknowledged employee feedback around the pace of change, and we’ve taken that feedback to heart and made some adjustments. The tech industry is broadly responding to changes to the macro environment, and our EC too has made changes to ensure the success of the organization and our ability to continue to be customer first in all that we do. If you would like to share more feedback, please reach out to your manager, EC leader, HRBP or directly to me. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer
