Is Private Equity Firm Sucking Out The Soul Of Anaplan? - Anonymous Anaplan Employee Review

I appreciate your candid feedback and passion for Anaplan’s culture. I agree that a strong culture is integral to our success. You said it best — great people supporting each other and believing in Anaplan’s future success make this company a great place to work. For that reason, building a winning culture is one of our six strategic priorities. We recently shared with employees a detailed strategy for how we will work together to achieve each strategic priority, along with specific SMART goals. I think it’s important to clarify that Thoma Bravo does not create the company’s strategy. The Executive Committee created our plan and roadmap for Anaplan with our customers and our people at the center. Each strategic priority was informed by feedback from employees, customers and partners. Based on this feedback, we introduced new initiatives to enhance collaboration, innovation and accountability. We have launched several change management and pilot initiatives recently. I know change can be difficult, but I encourage you and all Anaplan employees to remain open because we are in the midst of a transformation that will elevate Anaplan to become a category leader. Please know that I am interested in hearing more of your feedback and am committed to creating a positive employee experience. Please reach out to your manager, EC Member or directly to me if you’d like to continue this conversation. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer
