Pros

it's a growing company There is a renewed focus on improving our processes and acting like a grown up company rather than a start up. Yes there is uncertainty and change but overall the current trajectory of the company is positive Culture is great and we need to keep this at all costs!

Cons

New policies are sometimes rushed in too quickly and communication could be improved workload is high and sometimes you are made to feel guilty for taking PTO

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I agree with you that our current trajectory is positive and will propel Anaplan toward becoming a category defining company. And I also agree with you that we are implementing a lot of change in a short time period to ensure we are set up for that success. When possible, we do share changes with managers in advance and consult with our extended leadership team (ELT) to help shape the changes we make. I’m glad you like the culture, and I’m excited to work with all of our employees to strengthen it even more. Flexibility is a cornerstone of our winning culture and respecting time off from work is key. In fact, we just shared with employees the dates for our upcoming global Well-being Days and encouraged employees to take full advantage of the generous PTO we offer. It’s important that we are able to take time off to decompress and recharge our batteries. If you’re running into challenges taking your time off, please reach out to your manager, EC member, HRBP 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.
