Pros

High-calibre, collegiate colleagues and a genuine sense of purpose. Serious investment in AI and data innovation—proper tooling, access, and sensible guardrails. Real autonomy and trust: outcomes over theatre, ownership from day one. Clear progression and sponsorship; internal mobility is encouraged. Sensible flexibility on where and when to work, with a competitive package and accessible leadership.

Cons

The pace can be sometimes unrelenting and won’t suit those seeking a quiet life as Anaplan is the best in the world in their category. As the organisation scales, some processes and decision rights are still bedding in, with occasional cross-functional friction. A few less modern systems remain and can slow delivery. Global time zones sometimes make collaboration a touch fiddly.

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.
