Good memories from pre-TB days

Minpunten

Anaplan, once a leading force in the realm of FP&A, has faced significant criticism following its acquisition by Thoma Bravo. The company's once vibrant culture, characterized by innovation and customer-centricity, has suffered under the new leadership. Thoma Bravo's relentless pursuit of profitability at any cost has resulted in a destructive shift away from prioritizing the needs and satisfaction of customers. The acquisition has seen a disregard for the core values that once defined Anaplan, with a focus solely on short-term financial gains. This shortsighted approach has led to a neglect of the company's product development and innovation, undermining its ability to meet the evolving needs of its users. Furthermore, the emphasis on profitability above all else has fostered an environment where employee morale and engagement have plummeted. The erosion of the once-strong company culture has left many disillusioned and disheartened, leading to talent attrition and further exacerbating the company's challenges. In conclusion, Thoma Bravo's stewardship of Anaplan has been marked by a detrimental disregard for the company's culture and customers. The relentless pursuit of profitability without considering the long-term implications has undermined the company's potential and alienated both employees and users alike

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.
