Pros

Anaplan has a fantastic product with ever-expanding market share. Our executive leadership team has a strong strategic vision and focus. With our new executive leadership, everyone still moves fast but it is with focus in the same direction. There are a lot of smart and engaged people at Anaplan. Your work makes an impact you can see in the success of a company. It is rewarding to help drive favorable results, and be part of a company like Anaplan. The growth creates opportunities and you can grow along with Anaplan. The company has started pulse surveys to get feedback and ensure a positive culture. The weekly happy hours now have fancier food. It is a fun place to work. I genuinely enjoy coming to work every day.

Cons

Be prepared to work hard and multi-task. In a company growing as fast as Anaplan, the work does not stop.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
