Pros

Growth continues to be exciting as the company continues to add global 2000 companies to its list of customers. The platform is basically setting completely new boundaries and is really changing the game in all areas of planning and collaborative decision-making. Continue to bring on super smart people that are genuinely nice and good to work with. Anaplan did VERY well to get such a high-caliber CEO (Frank) who ran Fortune 500s and is a genuinely nice guy focused on both growing the company, but treating its people well.

Cons

As I am based in a satellite office, it's harder to get the buzz of some of the larger offices within Anaplan. There have been frequent re-orgs, but I think that's to be expected with the growth and with new leadership.

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.
