Pros

I like working at Anaplan. In my 4+ years here, I have had the opportunity to support Employee Development team, HR ops team, and Compensation team. Along with that I am also a Model builder for Anaplan. The cross functional movement at Anaplan allowed me to get a holistic perspective of how critical HR function is for the growth of the Company and how using Anaplan as a platform can accelerate that. Anaplan's collaborative culture allows for a ton of opportunities for Career expansion. You get to participate in stretch projects where innovation and curiosity is valued by the leaders, and which supports your growth as a professional. Anaplan is a global company so you learn from your peers in different geo's as well. Anaplan has one of the most competitive total rewards package with great benefits. Managed PTO is a plus.

Cons

Anaplan is going through a transition and so the work can be intense and challenging.

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.
