Pluspunten

It’s a paycheck while you hunt for something better

Minpunten

Very limited go-to market strategy Limited portfolio to compete with, especially when newer companies now have better offerings and larger companies will bundle it in a solution set. Quite a few “coasting” sales people From the pre-IPO days that are sitting on key accounts and territories Management is especially poor, specifically in the central region, with shuffling account lists, moving numbers, and constantly playing a political game. Despite what they might sell you about the earning potential and their glorious past, if they had any talent they wouldn’t be there. They were a hot acquisition target after the IPO, but after a couple of botched negotiations they are slowly dying on the vine and will eventually get bought out for cheap. The poor ratings are real, despite whatever spin will be attached to these. But if you’re in need of a job and you can compartmentalize the very poor environment and leadership, you could at least use the role to fund your job search and put yourself in a better position. Make no mistake though, the sales org is trash.

Pluspunten

Since joining Anaplan 2024, I’ve had the opportunity to lead multiple CS & GTM teams, launch Portfolio CS across industries, and co-lead AI-enabled value and customer journey transformations designed to drive durable growth and accelerate customer outcomes at scale. What stands out most is the clarity of strategy, the strength of leadership, and the quality of the teams executing it. The focus is simple: a powerful platform, disciplined execution, and measurable customer outcomes. The culture is equally strong. Anaplan’s “I ACT REAL” values; innovation, accountability, collaboration, transparency, resilience, empathy, authenticity, and continuous learning; genuinely shape how teams work: openly, with shared ownership of outcomes, and a constant focus on improving to better serve customers. Excited for what’s ahead as we continue scaling impact across industries.

Minpunten

As Anaplan grows and expands globally, some processes are still maturing. That can create ambiguity at times, but it also means there’s room for operators to shape how things work.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
