Pros

As an engineer, Anaplan used to be a fantastic company to work for. The management was supportive, the culture superb, the pay good and the work interesting. The London office was particularly vibrant with a lot of very talented engineers and caring leaders. The previous CEO really cared about the employees and culture in a genuine hands-on way. He also ensured everyone received a generous financial share of the company value in RSU's.

Cons

Unfortunately, around the time Anaplan was acquired by a private equity company in June 2022 all that changed. Anaplan is now being turned from a creative powerhouse into a pure cash cow. The new owners ONLY care about money. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but financial success is no longer shared with the employees. The private equity team has proved time and again they will trample on anything and everything to make cash. Case in point is the complete trashing of the culture. People are now units to be removed from the balance sheet. All the great leaders and culture carriers have been pushed or have jumped. The leaders that are left are fighting like cats in a bag as they try to protect themselves. At the risk of too many metaphors, everyone is stabbing everyone else in the back. However, more worryingly, the new owners clearly don't understand what drives the value proposition. Development in the primary product is being made dormant alongside an ongoing process of moving lots of engineering to low cost locations. My advice is to find somewhere else unless you are very desperate. You will probably regret choosing Anaplan.
