Pros

Alteryx has many of the great benefits that come with working for a tech company. The health insurance is absolutely incredible. Additionally they provide 50% 401k matches and 3 weeks off starting. Pay is also pretty competitive. There are lots of really great employees here. Management laid off a lot of them, but they still remain. I really like a lot of my direct peers as people. The SDR organization also has great diversity, especially for a sales org.

Cons

The company seems to be quickly going downhill. When I started we were growing fast and management was pitching the idea of us becoming a “world class organization” and a “billion dollar company”. I believed in the vision. Now I’m actively job hunting and can’t wait to leave. A lack of structure for training and dozens of reorganizations in the SDR org has led to a “sink or swim” environment and lots of people in the role who don’t know what they are doing. Leadership invested in rapid growth without evaluating whether our existing structures could handle it. Then they laid off 11% of the company. There is currently no internal path for promotion. Most of us joined Alteryx under the guise that promoting internally was easy. Now some of us have been here for two years and see no path for growth. Additionally, most of the formerly promoted SDRs were laid off in April. The VP of this organization seems invested only in our quotas but not us as individuals. They constantly talk about how much money they make and their lavish vacations, but can’t be bothered to learn our names or listen to our problems. This ship is on fire.

Pros

The Alteryx Designer is a fantastic business tool, but that's all it is...just a tool.

Cons

The former and now current leadership have a single threaded focus on sales execution and have for years. Over the past several weeks the new management has emphasized accountability related to failure of hitting sales numbers. With increased scrutiny and micromanagement of the sales process, it makes me wonder if leadership will ever mention or invest into product development......creating a true enterprise grade analytics platform which is deployed in a secure cloud.

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful feedback and input. I agree with you that the Designer is a great business tool, and it's been designed with customer impact in mind, and we're fortunate to have a great many customers whose success is built on the value our tools and our people bring them every day. Aligned with the investments we're making into the sales organization in terms of leaders, team members and process improvements, we're likewise enthusiastic about the measure we're going to go this year and in the years to come in terms of product development. And you're right, part of that product development effort will be the ability for our customers to succeed with our tools in a seamless, secure, browser-based format. Thanks again for sharing your feedback - I'd be grateful for a few minutes of your time if you'd be open to sharing more live. Feedback affirms and helps to focus where we're spending time and investment, and I'm grateful for both of yours. Thanks, David

Pros

Can't think of one. This place is toxic and the politics outweigh any good experiences. There are some great people that work here, but sadly they are slowly diminishing.

Cons

HR is a joke here! We have "Sr. Directors" and "Directors" who are simply incompetent. They are disingenuous and Alteryx will fail if they continue to overlook the poorly led team within HR. Next on the list, our friends in Finance. CFO struts around the office and constantly offends people with off color remarks that have no place in a work environment. Thankfully, Covid has allowed us to stay somewhat removed from his shenanigans. Unfortunately he's surrounded by sheep that would deny the existence of Covid if he asked them to. My dept. (which will remain unannounced until I find a new job) is equally disastrous and we seem to bleeding our best people on monthly basis. The trends of toxic backbiting and general mistrust run rampant. Simply stated, don't join this company. There are too many other opportunities out there to settle for an environment like this. The stories you see on glassdoor are true and I would look at any 5 star review with extreme caution.

Hi there - first off, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience here at Alteryx. As I'm still in my first month at the company, my focus right now is on listening and learning, and your perspective - and those of all our colleagues - is top of mind for me right now. Although your feedback is difficult to read, I trust what you've written is how a couple of our departments - my own included - have shown up for you, or rather how we've missed your expectations. Please accept my apology for what sounds like some important work for us to do to address your concerns. To that end, I'd welcome the opportunity to meet with you if you'd be willing (confidentially, of course) to share more detail on your feedback. While I believe we have assembled here at Alteryx one of the strongest leadership teams I've had the chance to work in my career - to include HR and Finance - all of us are on a continual leadership journey as we serve our growing company. With your feedback and the chance to address your concerns, I'm confident we will continue to improve, and for that I'd be grateful for your help. Thanks, David
