Pros

It has been a great experience joining Anaplan and I can't say enough good things about the company, the product and the company culture. The product is centered around empowering customers to collaborate and that same philosophy informs how Anaplanners work together--it is a culture that fosters collaboration and respect. Company leadership has worked hard to create a workplace where all voices are able to be heard and accomplishments are celebrated. The pace and the growth are fast and for someone who wants an exciting environment, Anaplan is a great place to be.

Cons

With growth comes some growing pains--I would remind the company to continue to be ahead of the curve when it comes to planning for growth and the challenges that can come with it.

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.
