Pros
Product: Anaplan as a product has great potential and is adding new enterprise customers constantly. It could really revolutionize the space if it isn't bought out. Career Growth: Because the company is growing so fast, it presents a huge opportunity to move up in the company. Work hard, be highly assertive, and you can advance quickly. People: The people have been very friendly in a professional way. It's pretty uncommon for coworkers to spend time together outside of work, but that's starting to change as we add more people to the organization. More coworkers are organizing activities outside of work hours (running, kickball, etc), and it is having a positive impact on the culture. Culture: In-office happy hours weekly, out-of-office happy hours monthly, free snacks in kitchen, and catered lunch once a month. Compensation: Anaplan pay is above average.
Cons
Compensation: This was also included in the "Pros" section. Anaplan has some issues around honoring agreements and timely payment. The sales team is still waiting to be paid on Spiffs that closed in mid-May (they're telling us we will be paid at the end of August now). Additionally, they changed the terms of the contract after the fact, ilkely because they felt that payouts would be too large. Diversity: The Exec board is entirely white, mostly male, and mostly former SAP employees. This is true for most of the company, but it becomes slightly more diverse as you get to the lower level employees. Promotions: Anaplan has a habit of incenting employees with promotions and not following through. HR here is a joke, and can't (or won't) do anything to solve the problem. I've seen more than a few cases of employees not getting the promotions they were promised until they had an offer letter from another company in hand. I've also seen many great employees leave because they got offer letters at other companies, and Anaplan wouldn't give them the promotion they were promised.
