Pros

The product itself is incredible Finance, Marketing & Product teams seem less toxic Competitive pay

Cons

Everyday another good employee/leader leaves (either to a competitor or under the guise of “needing a life change”) and recently you don’t even find out they’re leaving until after they’re gone because it’s been swept under the rug. Attrition is natural but when it’s strong leaders who had key roles, it feels scary and bizarre to see those people running for the hills. Everyone is on edge all the time in GTM with conspiracy theories popping up left and right about the future of Anaplan. GTM senior execs aren’t held accountable for the environment they’ve created. It’s become insufferable the last 6 months and the business will continue declining without action.

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.
