Pros

Fantastic teams at all levels. Proven leadership. Right business attitude yet fun loving. Can you ask more? Say goodbye to micro management and endless status reviews etc. At Anaplan, you are your own master. Make decisions, enjoy successes, fail safe / fail fast, learn and adapt. Market maker and disruptor. The vision, technology, energy and pace is incredible and Anaplan is set to define a new category. Great customers - Customers love and sing songs about their product. Have you seen this lately in enterprise software? Collaborative and transparent culture - As a person who worked for big companies, this is huge as it helps me strategize, align and deliver while not getting slowed down by "the process".

Cons

Fast paced (not for weak minds) Have to manage multiple priorities

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.
