Pros
From the moment I joined Anaplan, the on-boarding experience was quick and efficient. Honestly the best I've ever experienced. Gave me just the right about of information and setup to hit the ground running. The leadership team is open and transparent and put communication with it's employees as a high priority, which is admirable.
Cons
Since we're in growth mode, there are some logistical items that are still in flux or needed to be revisited, but otherwise not a lot of cons.

Thank you for your review. Your feedback on the onboarding experience is very much appreciated. We have invested quite a bit in this area over the past year, and we're thrilled it's being received so well.
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.
