Pros

In August ... several months into the pandemic ... Our CEO Frank Calderoni hosted another (in a series) of town halls helping to keep us all informed, connected and feeling cared for. After that meeting I felt compelled to share this note with him. Today’s FAQ gave me goosebumps! I have worked for several of the world’s largest enterprise software companies over my career and have NEVER felt so motivated, supported and truly cared about as I have at Anaplan!! With the upside down world and so many of our friends & peers losing businesses and jobs, I am BEYOND GRATEFUL to simply still be employed! Thank You!... But, … then to have all these added benefits is UNBELIEVABLY generous and kind! You are a TRUE LEADER who walks the talk. I look forward to continuing to learn how to be an awesome leader from YOU - for a long time to come. With magic, Les

Cons

Not being able to be in person with everyone right now during Covid! Can't wait til we can reconvene together in one place.

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.
