Pros

Interesting technology, some great people who want to make a difference

Cons

Culture is horrible, people scared to speak. Diversity enforced so much people are scared to even look at other people. What is good for California must be enforced globally no matter what. Very poor HR organization, totally inexperienced and useless. The core product is amazing however very limited market space, you can only sell to data scientists and that is very limited, very expensive, competition is smarter. The company thinks California not global, doe snot understand what a global company is what a global economy is or anything outside Hollywood California. The Californias do not care what time it is. They will arrange a training session for two weeks for people around the globe in countries which starts at 6pm to 11pm midnight two weeks running including weekends in some countries simply because the Californians want to work from 9 to 5 their time so they do not disrupt their personal lives. Frequent conference calls at 11pm, 2am is the normal as long as it suits Californians.

Pros

- Great product (although it has not been significantly improved for many years) - Salary is above average but this should be a warning sign for candidates (see below)

Cons

- Point solution and nowhere near a real analytics 'platform' (or cloud solution). I am wondering why no large cloud company just copied what Alteryx does and their competitive advantage is getting smaller and smaller. Move to the cloud has been announced in 2016 but was never accomplished. - Culture and people were amazing but with the new CEO everything changed. He hired one of his 'old buddies' as CRO (Dean Darwin) and had to kick him out after 2 months due to racist comments he made on LinkedIn. Although they are friends for many years (announced when Darwin joined), he later denied knowing any of Darwin's 'views' and nobody questioned this behaviour. -Turnover is incredible and the management teams (C-level to first line) was kicked out and replaced almost 80%. Now the company is led by people that are mainly 50+ and all joined in the last 8 months. Many do not care about the product and even less about people. People get kicked out although 50% of positions are open and many leave the organization due to the complete ignorance of new leadership. No one tries to really understand the product or listens to experienced managers and is pushing their old school sales tactics down the throats of those who remained. This leads to even more problems and more pressure for pipeline / revenue. - If you want to get micromanaged, this is your company. While open communication about problems and issues get ignored, they push you to work on call lists with superficial messaging like it's a 1990 insurance sales call center. - no support. You cannot count on any support from a business development organization (open headcounts but no new hires in months). You'll need to participate in pipe gen 'cold call' days and all pipeline issues land on your back. SE team is great but also slightly understaffed. -They are hiring everyone from everywhere due the incredible turnover. Currently 1/3 of sales positions globally are open and this aggressive hiring comes at a price. Since the managers don't understand product, processes and do not care about people, everybody is frustrated. No real onboarding in regional offices makes this worse. The atmosphere is quite toxic. I never heard about a company that went from great to horrible so quick and with such a negative impact. I can only recommend you to stay away and try your luck elsewhere.
