Sales Focused

Pros

Fun, youthful culture, good perks, decent compensation. The product itself really is fantastic. Many smart folks here and there's always something to learn.

Cons

Rudderless leadership apart from Simon's customer focus and product development. If you're not in the sales org, your contributions are not considered and your opportunity for advancement is effectively nil. Professional development doesn't exist in the Anaplan vocabulary. They hire almost exclusively externally and little emphasis is placed on internal advancement. This will be a hindrance for growth once the company reaches maturity.

Needs new leadership

Pros

Depending on your role and department you may work with some grade A people and learn a lot.

Cons

The worst HR team you could imagine. And it's gotten worse since they brought a new leader in. Pay and benefits are not even close to competitive. The general attitude is you're lucky to be employed so don't ask for anything. This obviously leads to losing top talent.

Be Very Careful!!

Pros

1) The overall product offering is solid. One of the best products in the space. 2) Still not yet, IPO, so opportunity for a quick hit, but first part of options don't vest until after one year of employment.

Cons

1) Some managers were good, other's were not. I had the experience to work with some managers that I would classify as above average, and also had the experience of working with a manager that will probably go down as the worst manager I have worked with in my career. 2) Make sure you know your territory exactly before going in. I was oversold on the opportunity, and the territory I was offered in the interview process, was not what I eventually received. 3) Main focus is on going public, and several of the core people will most likely cash out and move on after IPO. 4) Poor culture-management by fear and realistic expectations. Everyone was so on edge, no one really worked well together. 5) Quotas are completely unrealistic to support the growth management is looking for to go public. Less than 5% of reps in North America made their number when I was there.
