Pros

Good product especially for sales ops and supply chain. Finance use case lesser so. It is significantly more difficult to use than others in the marketplace. new ceo is former cfo that is struggling to break out of his shell. i give him credit for trying, everything is pretty staged.

Cons

anaplan has become a propaganda and communication machine over the last few months. there is little transparency for employees and most of the reviews on this site are fake and written by the communication and hr department. its a shame

We are thankfully investing heavily in the product because we think it’s amazing as well. We have open Q&A sessions, Town Halls around the world, and open channels to discuss just about anything, so it’s unfortunate you feel the 150+ positive reviews are fake. We are always open to suggestions for improvement- please feel free to reach out to your manager or HR.

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.
