      solid product + terrible org

      Sales team
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Alteryx designer is a battle tested product that works great. The Alteryx Designer truly sells itself so there's not much salesmanship needed once you get the product in their hands, it makes life as a salesman easy There's an incredibly wide range of avenues to break into organizations presenting a very unique opportunity, as it allows for reps to shine in their own lines of business or expertise. There is a great opportunity to succeed here if you make sure you get the right connections internally with management and suck up as needed

      Cons

      During the 2018 Christmas party the president and CRO of the company at the time (scott jones) was making sexual advances towards my date. The night culminating with him connecting and messaging her on social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn ( I have pictures). You can only imagine how that made me feel as an employee reporting under him. This alone is WILDY scary and as someone who has to work under someone like that, it drastically changed my views of our organization. High growth has masked a large lack of competency internally specifically in lower/mid level management. people have inherited roles they aren't qualified or prepared for and it rears it’s head in a number of different ways. Products outside of the designer are not great. They offer "Alteryx for good" hours which are meant to volunteer during work hours, naturally in sales you want to be there as often as you can but when i requested to use my "afg" hours i was greeted with a " is that a good use of your time?" Alteryx targets younger individuals to save costs but most people have been in college longer than they've been in the software industry. Some people have no sales background at all, lots of “buddy 6” hiring. Don't voice alternative views as management often sees this is combative or antagonistic. Then your "personal brand" gets tarnished, once that happens there's no coming back. Another review posted here wrote "The environment is fear based and you’re always wondering if you will fall out of favor and get fired. CEO and his team seem to perpetuate that." this is a very accurate statement. There are other issues internally but you get the picture, no sense in beating a dead horse...

      Thanks for taking time to share your feedback. I agree with you that our products are truly leading-edge, and although our salespeople work hard to ensure our solutions align with our customers' needs, it is much easier to achieve your goals as an account executive when the product is as well-designed and as effective as ours are fortunate to be. Although the experience back in 2018 you described with the prior leader who is no longer with the company is atypical and out of line with our culture and expectations of all of our associates, I can assure you that I take the feedback very seriously and have taken it onboard as we go forward. With the new leaders we have in place, we have not only set new strategic imperatives for 2021, but we have also refreshed our Core Values. Building on what was set in place by our founders, our Core Values here at Alteryx are: Customer First, Accountability, Equality, Integrity and Empowerment. Any violation of any of those values will be addressed quickly and fairly, as ours is a culture rooted in respect and focus on the ability of everyone to do their best work. As a leadership team - and as colleagues - we're laser focused on building and scaling the culture and the company our associates deserve and our customers need in order for us to design and deliver the very best products and solutions. Even though it sounds like you have been away from the company for some time, please reach out directly to me on LinkedIn if you would like to connect live to discuss your feedback. Thanks, David

      Beware of pace and account sets

      Pros

      There are a few sales leaders who care about development, and who share knowledge of how to get better. The product is good, but overpriced. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      This is an extremely fast-paced sales job focused on extreme growth quickly. Your success in sales is directly tied to the account set you are given. With bad accounts, you can spend 10-12 hours a day crafting the right message and engaging the right people and still not find success. I was put on a performance plan after only 6-7 months. A lot of companies recognize the time it takes to get familiar with the product, accounts, and industry. Some even provide a guarantee for 6-12 months. 3 month guarantee (not even 100% payout) with Alteryx. And no exit interview when let go. Seems like they don't value feedback from the lower tiers on the performance of management.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback on your experience here at Alteryx. I agree with you that we are fortunate to have a leadership team who are as invested in developing our people as our products. And we're working every day to expand our benefits offerings to ensure our associates are cared for as they grow their careers here. I appreciate your feedback on your own experience on our Sales team - yours is helpful input as we continue to review and enhance our sales onboarding process and the way we provide support as our account executives ramp in their role. Your lack of an exit interview is direct feedback I'm taking for action to see where we had a process gap. If you're still willing, please reach out to me directly and I would be grateful for a few minutes of your time to take live feedback on how else we can improve. Thanks, David

      No technical strategy or engineering leadership

      Pros

      The people who work here are amazing. Everyone wants to help and to teach, so you never feel like you are abandoned. Plenty of opportunity as a company if it can turn around.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no technical strategy. It's been over a year since we first described what our vision was and leadership has not made any progress on what we will do to get there. No short/mid/long term discussion on how we move towards the platform that was our goal and no leadership on how to converge our various rewrites. Projects become a reactionary reflex with no cohesion towards working together due to executive management.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. As tough as it is to read constructive feedback, your thoughtful reflection on where you see areas of opportunity are most appreciated. While with the leadership of our new CEO, we're currently in the process of building out our FY21+ goals, a critical underpinning is - as you mention - the role of the technical strategy itself. We have some of the best product experts and software engineers in the business, who partner well together and truly understand the criticality of a strong and clear roadmap to help ensure we're delivering the value our customers need and deserve. With the focus that the engineering leadership and team have on the importance of FY21 ahead of us, the addition of a few key technology senior leadership roles will bring together in a clear and cohesive way the project and program alignment you mention. As the technical strategy becomes set in the next several weeks - and is shared with the company in our FY21 kickoff, please keep the feedback coming. Even when it's constructive in nature, it's helpful to hear and see and will continue to keep us focused on clear and regular two-way communications about our strategy, goals and execution. And lastly, thank you for the affirmative feedback about how supported you feel here at Alteryx; I couldn't agree more, and it's part of what makes Alteryx special. While strategies may evolve, the core of our culture that is focused on talented people supporting each other is unwavering. Thank you for being a part of that critical core. Thanks, David
