Pros

1) Compensation - The cash portion of compensation is amazing and high (exclude the equity for now) 2) Remote Work - The ability to work remote and travel all over the world this year. In the past 2 months, I've worked in 8 different places! 3) Managers - The managers care about their employees, growth, and work life balance. I've had 3 of the best managers in my life at Anaplan! 4) Management - The management is experienced, knowledgable, and care about wellbeing of employees + customers. The management team has created an extremely positive culture that values customers and employees! 5) Career Growth - Incredible opportunity to learn, add new skills, and grow in your career because Anaplan is investing in it's employees. Anaplan has sponsored me for multiple professional trainings and certifications that I wouldn't have done without Anaplan!

Cons

The equity portion of compensation is illiquid, but employees get a lot of equity when they join, and we get more equity at regular refresh periods. The equity might be illiquid, but it is worth a lot and has a beneficial tax structure.

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.
