Pros

Product is incredible. Pure disruption. The thorn in the paw of Oracle/SAP. Leadership upgrades have been ongoing for the past several months. Finally getting relief from some of our past hiring decisions. Total buy in from senior leadership. People are a central focus which is a refreshing change. Lots of focus on culture development. Most companies talk about how great their culture is, Anaplan is being very purposeful in how they are designing their future.

Cons

First world problems of fast hiring, getting processes in place, ramping up employees to be quickly successful. All of these things have a pretty strong focus on them at present. This attention to detail will start paying dividends over the next several months.

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.
