Pros

The people at the company are very friendly, open, and easy to interact with.

Cons

Company has no vision, too much turnover, lack of retaining talent. A lot of people in middle management who do not know what they're doing. Very low amount of people actually know the product and what it does.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We take all feedback seriously. While I’m happy to hear you had a great experience working with the amazing people we have at Anaplan, I’m sorry to hear that you left feeling the company lacks a vision. We are on the path to becoming the next category-defining cloud company. The Executive Committee (EC) and I communicate regularly with employees around company strategy, progress toward our goals, the winning culture we are building, and our product and technology roadmaps. Most of all, we are passionate about delivering major outcomes for our customers and are proud to count 50% of the Fortune 50 as customers. I believe Anaplan has a bright future ahead, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer

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.
