Pros

I was lucky to know a couple of ex colleagues here at Anaplan before I joined and that was helpful because I knew the type of culture was one I would love to work for. Respectful, caring, motivational, learning, supportive and ambitious and it has fulfilled all of those and more. I love the journey we are on with Thoma Bravo and the future and the opportunties that brings. We have a great product that solves so many business problems today and that is a big help in our ability to articulate the value we bring. My direct team are great- we trust each other, we inspire each other and we all want to be the best we can be- we are a very strong team. I am really enjoying my journey here at Anaplan and could recommend enough

Cons

There are not any real cons from my perspective, like many companies we have a fast paced environment and there is always change in terms of new ideas and processes. If you can handle that then you will fit in perfectly here.

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.
