Strategic Chaos & Toxic Culture - Avoid Anaplan

Pros

You will be well compensated.

Cons

After my experience at Anaplan, I feel obligated to warn potential candidates. The complete lack of a coherent OKR framework creates an environment where goals remain deliberately ambiguous, making it impossible to demonstrate success. This ambiguity appears designed to facilitate easier layoffs, as performance becomes subjective rather than measured against clear objectives. The leadership operates without a unified strategy, resulting in constantly shifting priorities and abandoned initiatives. Resources are routinely misallocated, creating unrealistic deadlines and burnout. The toxic work culture was perhaps most alarming. Office politics dictate advancement, with favorites receiving opportunities while talented team members are sidelined. Cross-functional collaboration is virtually nonexistent due to departmental silos. If you value your time, talent, and wellbeing, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for opportunities where your contributions will be measured fairly and genuinely valued.

Pros

Thanks to effective affirmative action globally, inspired by the Barbie movie, we’re rocking diversity with some teams becoming 100% women. Don’t worry if you end up having to work with a cis-w-m though, we’ve plenty of ERGs for you to find a safe space and heal the hurt. Top tip if you’re looking to join: Don’t hesitate to apply even if you have major experience gaps for the role, you’ll find plenty of folks levels below you who can cover. And, if you say the right things, multi-level rapid promotion might just follow…

Cons

No downsides, come work here!

Dumpster Fire - Run Away

Pros

Maybe worth hanging out for a while, until landing a real job with a better company that respects your skills.

Cons

Weak leadership, weak product and a whole host of 'wannabes' that would never make it in a legit tech company. Toxic is an understatement.
