Pros

None. If you are thinking of joining don't read reviews past around 8 months ago. Anaplan was a great place with great product and people. Read cons, Anaplan is completely different than it was a year ago.

Cons

Thoma Bravo (private equity firm who bought Anaplan) is the perfect example of the evils of private equity. Go watch the move wall street to see how they work. Buy the company for IP, cut everyone who matters and was making $ on merit, and then flip it. This will be a barren wasteland of a working environment until Anaplan inevitably fails because competitors breeze by.

Pros

I worked here for over 4 years and had some really good times . Had some great challenges to solve and wonderful colleagues to work with . While they were a public company , they used to pay Engineers quite well (350k for senior engineers and 500k for principal was possible)

Cons

Went from 5 stars to 1 star after TB takeover(I had put a 5 star review about 2 years back). Was an amazing people friendly company before the takeover. Private Equity bought Anaplan at a premium rate when the market was hot and now they want to reduce costs aggressively (Similar to Elon musk's Twitter play). Almost half of engineering was let go with pathetic severance(1 week per year of service) and significant outsourcing . Come here only if you have no other choice.You are not going to learn anything from a tech standpoint because now they only care about keeping the lights on for the platform and not investing in new areas. The new compensation philosophy is a joke and you almost will not get equity anymore(You might but that equity is fairly useless)- so overall comps will significantly reduce. You could very well go work for a bank and make the same money doing 9-5 than working at this toxic hellhole. Absolutely toxic leadership and zero empathy
