Nickel and dime the customer, leader titles with no leadership - Sr. Manager, Operations Anaplan Employee Review

Pros

Remote work and generous PTO

Cons

Anaplan has become a sinking ship, trying to cost cut, nickel and dime their customers. License and workspace reporting continues to drag far behind their competition with no signs of ever aligning to their contracts. Anaplan has an abundant lack of leadership, culture of blame, and has lost their competitive edge that can never be recovered. I recommend any other planning software. The future of Anaplan appears as trying to blindside their customers with surprise charges from their poorly thought designed revenue schemes.

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.
