Pros

Since joining Anaplan I have been impressed with the company in the following areas; -Open and clear communication from the executive team regarding our strategy and how we are tracking against our strategy every quarter. -Tools and training in place to help teams succeed. -A great culture of collaboration, performance, empathy, and authenticity -Amazing people that go out of their way to help one another -The platform is powerful, flexible and our clients love it. The technology is 2nd to none and gives us a huge TAM to go after

Cons

The company has lost some good people over the last 18 months due to a change in corporate vision and strategy which is a real shame. That said the strategy and vision for the company are well thought out, actionable, and achievable and should help us all be successful

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.
