      Incredible promise - Can't get out of our own way

      Account eecutive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Alteryx Designer is an incredible product New product leadership inspires hope for bigger leaps in functionality Strong investment in technology for sales (ZoomInfo, Salesloft, LinkedIn Navigator)

      Cons

      We can't get out of our own way. It is a harder fight internally to negotiate concessions or anything non-standard than it is with the customer/prospect. Many approvals have to go all the way up to the c-suite with nearly 10 approvals preceding that. While sometimes it is appropriate, there are many instances where it is completely overboard. I was optimistic when Mark came on and repeated a few times that we have to be more agile & easier to do business with, but there doesn't seem to be much traction in this area yet. "Remove the friction" has been a strategic imperative every year during my time, and it is now a joke said amongst associates when we get stuck or roadblocked trying to sell. The challenges in these processes are multiplying as we are onboarding new sales people and they are struggling to get things done.

      Thank you for taking time to share your thoughtful feedback - I can tell you care deeply about our company and our success. You're right that our new Product & Engineering leadership is going to chart the course for our technology and the strong value it delivers to our customers every day. I'm personally excited for Inspire and for the customers whom we'll bring together for those days of important content that will help them continue to drive value for their businesses and organizations. Thanks for your feedback about the opportunities to continue to remove friction from our processes, especially in the go-to-market area. The sales and operations leaders are squarely focused on identifying and addressing the areas that may prevent you and your colleagues from operating with the speed and smoothness that our customers need and deserve. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with specific areas that the HR team or I can be of help as advocates for areas where you'd like to see focus. Together - with your input - we'll continue to enhance as we scale. Thanks, David

      AE's read this before considering!

      Enterprise account executive

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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

      Good company

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good work life balance - Good benefits - Interesting technology - Growing industry - Decent engineering culture

      Cons

      - Salaries are lagging a little (older company maybe not quite aware of where the industry is now) - Older technology - Quite a lot of turnover in management - Analytics company with very few analytics aware engineers / leadership (which is understandable given the nascent nature of the industry) e.g. Analytics department was a mess when I joined and was still pretty bad when I left. Lots of academics that know very little about software and don't really add much value.
