Pros

There is incredible earning potential - you can make a LOT of money from commissions and RSU's. Benefits are top notch - 401k matching The platform works and is well received in the marketplace. You will learn SO much about sales from JJ (VP of Sales) and Tom (RVP, Sales) - JJ has seen it all, he's a true pro and has dedicated his life to mastering his craft. Tom is incredible, nobody knows Alteryx sales better than he does.

Cons

there is an insane amount of admin work mandated by leadership, you can spend half of your time on non-sales related activity in Excel docs and MS word (which is ironic given the company's platform). Most of the work is purely for leadership, not benefitting the seller. their forecasting process is enough to drive you mad, heavily time consuming major emphasis on activity metrics i.e. how many calls you make per day (report sent out to whole department daily), how many emails you send daily there is zero BDR support (literally, there aren't any BDRs), it's on the AE to run full cycle pipeline build and closing business. There is the expectation that you perform the job of an AE and BDR all the time which is insane and leads to many many late nights to keep up. This wasn't an issue pre covid bc everyone sent out automated emails that led to meetings which dried up when the pandemic hit. Super corporate environment. lack of empathy for personal things, taking time off. Expectation is that you make up work on days when you're out which effectively means they dont believe in days off. crazy shifting priorities and mixed messages, one day it's lets focus on x, next day is focus on y. Overall lack of care about work/life balance

Hi there and thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Although our entire leadership team reviews the feedback we receive on this platform and in our employee engagement surveys and pulse checks, I've specifically shared your input with our sales leadership team. As we scale, we're continuing to review, refine and streamline our processes, with a goal to ensure that our associates spend most all of their working time on their core work designing, developing, delivering our products and serving our customers around the world. As our new CEO Mark comes on board and as we prepare to open FY21, we're committed to clear priorities, transparent communication, and mutual accountability for each others' success. And that success is not just work-related. I personally am committed to continuing the important work we're doing to ensure Alteryx is a supportive environment that promotes healthy work-life integration across our workforce. While in a fast-growing customer focused company like ours there will be a late night here or there to serve our stakeholders, those should certainly be the exception. I'd welcome the opportunity to talk more live on a confidential basis for any additional specific feedback and ways I can be of help. Thanks, David

Hi there and thanks for your feedback, and for your service to Alteryx. With your help, we've achieved some amazing milestones of customer and associate success over the years as a company, and I'm glad that your experience with our leadership team was their commitment to everyone's success. I also appreciate that you saw an opportunity for us to continue to work collectively inside of our teams. With the pace of change - and now with COVID-19 realities, we're working on redoubling our efforts to maintain our commitment to transparency and communication, all with an eye to helping everyone achieve together. Please keep in touch, and if you'd ever like to turn your alumni status into a boomerang, please reach out to me directly - we'd love to have you back! Thanks, David

Pros

A growing and ambitious team who have a strong sense of identify and collective goals. This makes the culture amongst the x-functional groups supportive in making everyone successful. The business is in a different place than the last few years and with new leadership the APJ region has become a lot more connected and the opportunity to grow and develop has improved with the sharing of best practices and positive recognition across the regions.

Cons

Nothing notable to mention at this point in time.

Thanks for taking time to share your feedback, and for your help in serving our customers and associates in APJ. In my call with the team last week, I could sense the connectedness of the group on the call - I agree with you that the leadership team we have in-region is without peer, and our customers and people are feeling the benefit of that collective commitment to each others' success. Please keep the feedback coming and reach out any time! Thanks, David
