Pros
Free snacks, good location, product is decent I guess. Can't think of anything else honestly.
Cons
As many of the 1 or 2 star reviews suggest, Anaplan is a company built on deception of a 'great startup'. Anaplan is ruled as a dictatorship under the leader Emperor Fred Laluyaux, all departments and employees must kowtow to all his wishes and requests. All middle, C-level, and VP managers are weak, including the CTO who is intimidated and makes decisions at the behest of the Emperor. The Emperor always claims that Anaplan is a 'fast moving' and the 'culture is not for everyone' which is a great excuse for basically saying we have a really bad culture. The most fitting description of Anaplan can be summarized as 'chaos'. The company has a knack for inducing and stoking a chaotic work environment. Everything from lack of process, to backstabbing colleagues, and the BS that's constantly being promoted by HR and marketing. It's a very toxic work environment. Never experienced anything so toxic in my career. As previous reviews have mentioned, the emperor has been recruiting low-level SAP managers to serve his conquest as VPs and SVPs, so you'll often find that there are a lot of incompetent managers with lofty job titles and golden parachutes. If you like chaos and toxicity in a work environment. Anaplan is a great company for you! Also, this reviewer can confirm that HR did in-fact tell the company to write up faulty reviews of the company.
