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.

Pros

* Brilliant colleagues (specifically below management) that are great to work with and dedicated to the team * Catered lunches * Opportunity to work from home

Cons

* No action or genuine concern of feedback regarding work/life balance and improvements to lacking culture. * Lack of understanding to the true potential of employees. Employees aren't given the opportunity to do what they were hired for. * Strained interdepartmental relationships due to silo'd teams assuming their past experience is universal. As such, there is a lack of interdepartmental understanding. * Alteryx seems to have a vision of the company they want to be and sells this story to potential new hires. As a result, many (including myself) quickly realized after a few months "this isn't what I signed up for". So turnover is higher than I've seen elsewhere.

Cut throat, culture is dead

Pros

A few good people struggling to survive the current state of the company

Cons

Culture is dead. The Alteryx environment has become cut throat. People Managers and Executives choose to look the other way and not address the bad behavior. Alteryx has become a boys club. Numerous women were laid off in the last three rounds of layoffs and some of those roles are now being backfilled by men. Women are excluded from discussions they should be part of based on their roles and responsibilities; and when they are included, they get interrupted or shut out from conversations. DEI strategy is not existent. CEO, CCO, and CFO do not lead by example, they condone the boys club and bravado behavior, women are not set up to be successful here. Sadly, the women executives turn a blind eye to this culture and do absolutely nothing to help support women at Alteryx or to drive change. Employees are afraid to speak up, due to fear of backlash or retribution. HR is no help here. The newly formed RevOperation team is a mess. No trust, no communication, no alignment, and no leadership. Head of RevOps and her direct reports have brought nothing but dysfunction and as a result it's a brutal every person for themselves vibe. The leaders in charge of cloud have no idea what thye are doing. CFO says to do more with less, um.....come work a day in our shoes, he has no idea how hard people are working. Good people are going to burn out. CSuite leadership is either clearly unaware or does not care about the current state of the company, culture and distress the employee base is in. All you can count on them for is lip service. They have also shown to be out of sync and have shown no ability to make decisions to move the company forward. New leadership is needed, for culture, growth, and make Alteryx great again.
