Pros

The leadership has changed a lot this year and all for the better, things are looking up. Management listened and this year Anaplan hired a new CFO, new VPs, changed some employees' roles around. This new leadership is friendly, approachable, and transport, There is an Anaplan spirit, and a united vision among the SF office to make this a great company and big success. This could be something really big....and I am honored to be a part of the movement. Plus...there is an Anaplan running club and free Happy Hours once a week, plus lots of Giants games.

Cons

no formal 401k plan or retirement plan for employees, but we do have stock options and opportunities to win big if the coming goes public ...

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
