Pros

Amazing people to work with who actually care about you Flexibility to work

Cons

This place was much better with the previous leadership, they were open transparent and would take actions as per employees feedback. Since, Thomas Bravo took over, no transparency, no one knows what's going on, new leadership do not care about employees it's all about profit now.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm pleased to hear you’re having a great experience with your coworkers, feel cared for and have flexibility. There has been a lot of change at Anaplan since becoming a private company, and I know these transitions can be challenging. The SaaS industry has moved from “growth at all costs” to “profitable growth,” and it’s a shift we take seriously. Some of the first priorities our CEO and leadership team have focused on is listening to employees and establishing transparent communications, putting employee feedback into action, and articulating a clear strategy. We look forward to sharing details on future initiatives that will energize employees. If you’d like to share more feedback, please reach out to your manager, department lead or directly to me. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer

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.
