Anaplan Reviews

Unfortunately, around the time Anaplan was acquired by a private equity company in June 2022 all that changed. Anaplan is now being turned from a creative powerhouse into a pure cash cow. The new owners ONLY care about money. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but financial success is no longer shared with the employees. The private equity team has proved time and again they will trample on anything and everything to make cash. Case in point is the complete trashing of the culture. People are now units to be removed from the balance sheet. All the great leaders and culture carriers have been pushed or have jumped. The leaders that are left are fighting like cats in a bag as they try to protect themselves. At the risk of too many metaphors, everyone is stabbing everyone else in the back. However, more worryingly, the new owners clearly don't understand what drives the value proposition. Development in the primary product is being made dormant alongside an ongoing process of moving lots of engineering to low cost locations. My advice is to find somewhere else unless you are very desperate. You will probably regret choosing Anaplan.

HR spends more time adding fake reviews than they do fixing the culture at Anaplan. Everyone is afraid to speak up and when they do, they will face "political consequences". The talent is decent but the "technical" leaders are a joke. You will be amused that most of them can't code a print "hello world" statement. The organization is filled with decent talent who can't stop dreaming about quitting their jobs for better opportunities as well as upper-management who hide their mistakes by blaming others. Don't ever try too to work too hard here; you will never be recognized even if you are the real deal. This is the harshest review I have ever written but it has to be said before another job seeker destroys their career here. I am doing them a favor. If you had any type of respect for yourself, you wouldn't put yourself in this position.
