Pros

- Good product. Our top customers do find Alteryx performs excellently and occupies a niche that is not met by other vendors in the space. - Good compensation. OTE is good and if you're successful in your role you can make a good amount of money, especially considering the young age of many reps. - Management tries hard to foster an open and collaborative culture. I find that everyone I have worked with is easy to get on with and professional, as well as good at their job.

Cons

- Tough to sell, not a "sexy" product and does require commitment from clients. Requires sales reps who understand complex sales cycles and technical requirements. - Almost entirely self-generated leads - inflexible sales processes, though this is reportedly being addressed as a priority by management. - Whilst not "hire and fire" this is certainly not a job for someone who needs 6 - 12 months to get up to speed. - High sales rep attrition - Currently going through lots of changes, loss of leadership, redundancies, territory and role reassignments

Alteryx Response

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful feedback - when people like you take time to share your input, it affirms the value of Glassdoor both for employees, candidates and companies, and for that I wanted to express my gratitude. I agree with you that the prominence of our product in being able to help solve customer's toughest challenges is the most important piece of our overall value proposition, surpassed only perhaps by the quality of the Alteryx employees who design, build, market, sell and service those products every day. Thanks for your feedback on how to ensure we're optimizing our employees' time - you're right that front-loading all training in Q1 can make it tough to have a fast start to the year, and we're working on how to further our culture of learning so that those activities are ongoing throughout the year and more manageable from a time perspective. Please keep the feedback coming! Thanks, David

Alteryx humble roots are gone.

Pros

Terrific technology. Some positive and dedicated folks. Excellent benefits. Can work with almost every different kind of industry.

Cons

Since they have wanted to go big time with outside money and investment with a new board - the soul of the company is gone. Poor communication from the top now is the norm. Politics is now the most important part of success.

Pros

- Competitive salary - Work/life balance

Cons

Since the PE takeover it's been downhill. The focus has shifted from product to short-term gains. Many longtime users of the product suggest that Alteryx’s cloud offering and server infrastructure are in need of investment, and that innovation has slowed. Customers are unhappy, employees live in constant fear, and middle/senior management is as useless as they get. Adding a few chatgpt connectors don't make this an AI-first product!!
