Pros

Cutting edge development technologies. Remote work flexibility. Startup feel. This place is full of truly brilliant people. Our customers are super passionate about the software. Tons of perks, great benefits. Tons of opportunity for career and personal growth. Alteryx is really going places and now is the time to hop on board. It's like joining Apple or Google in 1995.

Cons

Can be meeting-heavy. There can be breakdowns in communication. Growth means a lot of change. There are some who have a hard time changing (or frankly refuse to), and then get miffed and write fire and brimstone reviews.

Pros

Good benefits Free snacks CEO is down-to-earth Millennial type of environment

Cons

Alteryx is very top heavy. There are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Half of them are not even qualified as managers. Most of them do not care about their employees and need to take management classes. One of their initiatives are to retain top talents but they are doing the opposite by pushing talents out. It doesn't matter how hard you work, it's hard to be promoted within. A perfect example (keeping this as anonymous as possible to avoid retaliation), a former manager was working tirelessly and invested in the company as he put in many hours + weekends. Not to mention that he was undervalued/underpaid. His boss is clueless on how valuable he’s to the company. Instead of promoting this former manager or getting him help, his boss decided to hire a Director without communicating to him. When the manager left, it was a huge blow to the department and they finally realized that he does a lot. Management also encourages us to talk to the direct manager for career path and promotions. Wait…What!? If I go to my manager and ask for a promotion, I’ll be labelled as high maintenance. Shouldn't it be the other way around since they have the authority? So backwards! Directors and above get a way with so many things. Why? One simple answer, buddy system. It’s who you know instead of what you know. Most of Directors and VPs know each other. I guess it’s a common practice when a company goes public and becomes a cooperate world instead of a company that cares about their employees and promotes within. Communication here is just plain bad. The root cause? You got managers and above that do not understand the word manage, and they all think we are mind readers. It’s rather simple don’t you think? We are not robots so please talk and treat us like human beings.

Disfunctional, poorly managed company

Pros

Good location, Benefits are decent, work-life balance is good.

Cons

-It's really quite sad - they have a great product but the management is destroying the company by creating a pervasive, passive-aggressive atmosphere and I foresee this as a major failing point. -They disregard actual years of experience, keeping back people with valuable skills in favor of those who are more popular regardless of whether or not they are actually qualified. -The say that they are fair and everyone is given an equal opportunity to excel, but this is not the case. They give preference to people who do not voice their opinions and who are happy being compliant to an unfair system -They expect every employee to know how everyone else around them thinks and feels, but this is impossible. Trying to make everybody happy usually means that nobody is happy. -They try to woo the masses with perks such as snack, sodas, and lunches, but no amount of these will make up for the disfunctional undercurrent that exists in Alteryx and it is beginning to show in the employee satisfaction results -The most telling thing that I witnessed was the lack of any concern expressed by the CEO when questioned about the high number of negative reviews on Glassdoor. This is the most blatant indictment of management and leaves no wonder that his subordinates have followed his lead.
