Pros

The people are smart. The product is game changing. The company is nimble. They try to do the right thing in all situations.

Cons

As mentioned above, the company is nimble but is a bit too nimble at times. Changes (even good ones) could be better communicated.

Pros

Exceptional product capability, in the right hands unbeatable in the market place.

Cons

Lack of recognition, career path opportunities or incentive programs for the solution architects and model builders who are really the most qualified individuals to fill leadership positions and ensure the future success and growth of the customer success team. Management positions have been filled by individuals who have not learned how to use the product or developed the understanding of how and why an Anaplan engagement is different then an SAP engagement or any other SaaS engagement. Leadership skills and communication have had more than enough time to develop but remain non existent, moral is at an all time low as a result.

Pros

The product is great - truly a market mover, but they will need to evolve it faster and listen to customer feedback to keep it that way

Cons

Execs (VP+) are so worried about managing up that there is very little management down. The teams doing this work across almost the entire organization are in constant churn - switching gears constantly to chase the new shiny object their boss's boss has directed them towards. The leadership from the top is inauthentic and HR is a joke.
