Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s our priority to provide competitive compensation, benefits and PTO, so I’m glad to hear this has been your experience. An effective onboarding program is important because it ensures that all new employees have a welcoming, consistent and productive start to their Anaplan journey. As a newer employee, your feedback on how we can improve onboarding is valuable, and I’d love to hear more about your experience and ideas. Please reach out to your manager, EC member, HRBP or directly to me if you’d like to discuss. - Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer

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.
