Pros

Excellent technology and strong team of talent. Very strong culture.

Cons

Still figuring out how to support and develop customer success. Carving a new path with connected planning that (many) companies are still trying to figure out how to leverage.

Pros

I've worked at a number of big and small tech companies in the Bay Area, and I think I've found my home. There are a number of things that I love about working here so far. 1. They are hiring amazing people for management and leadership. Before I joined I read a number of reviews about how management was terrible, bad people promoted, etc. I haven't seen that at all! I work closely with HR (new Chief people officer coming on this month), Sales and Marketing, and I have to say I am super impressed with the people. The people you work with makes such a difference so it's important to really connect with the people you interact with daily. I can't say much about engineering or UK based employees as I don't work work near as close with them. 2. Leadership is addressing real issues. I've personally been supported with a number of asks to allow me to do my work better. I've heard some great things from the Culture team, rolling out new values and spending real time to improve culture at Anaplan, and Frank and his team have seemed dedicated to taking this company to the next level. (love his monthly podcast) It's exciting here. 3. What you do here matters. You can't hide here. I've worked at company's that you can hide by the sheer number of people. This is a small place where a lot (but fair amount) is asked of you. If you say you will do something, and you don't, people will notice. But you are also surrounded by people, that for the most part, want to help you succeed. I think I've found my home for the next foreseeable future.

Cons

Just like many startups, you wear a lot of hats. There are some terrible processes, and some people who aren't looking to change them. Even with new process, getting something through finance is painful. Need to hire more people. We are growing so fast, people are being spread thin. I know there have been big improvements to recruiting, but it's hard to deliver until we have more support. There is also expectation and asks to get things done in unreasonable amount of time.
