Pros

Instead of the conveyor belt style interviewing process with another somewhat snobby tech company I got immediate warm and positive feedback from all 3 people I initially interviewed with. Lori was a refreshing voice to deal with and assisted through the entire process start to finish. There was no jumping through hoops and no 4 hour questionnaire or assignment to waste my time on before hand. Anaplan is a true transparent and no nonsense company in hypergrowth mode. I'm surrounded by some of the smartest people in SF and I definitely feel at home. I look forward to the amazing growth we're going to see in the near future. Smaller perks are every drink and snack known is fully stocked which is awesome. All employees work on Apple Macbook as well. Compensation is extremely important and Anaplan's offer was very generous. Couldn't be happier.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say about the company.

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.
