Pros
- The company is doing very well and back being a leader in the MQ, which was great news. - The main product, Alteryx Designer, is a great product, although we are in 2020 and it is still a Desktop product. Analysts love it as it saves them lots of time. Great use cases. - AYX is on fire, opportunity to make $$$ with shares. Compensation is ok. - Free snacks and nice offices, -Good folks I became friend with
Cons
- The company is becoming increasingly arrogant. The marketing is getting ridiculous, very quick to adopt any buzzword that would make us sound smart and innovative and that is increasingly becoming an embarrassment, especially if (like me ) you work with partners who know the market well and try to implement real-world projects with Alteryx. We have been working on the new platform for years, partners have questions and are starting to question the attitude and arrogance displayed by the executive team. Oh yes, it is a public company, we need to please investors, everybody gets that but still, … - As others have said on this page, the culture is super T O X I C, you should take that seriously and be thorough in your evaluation before joining. There are of course some great people at Alteryx and some pockets where it is great to work but backstabbing is very common, along with people being let go without explanations, great talent suddenly leaving, several cliques, horrible managers promoted. On top of all of that, there is constant insecurity due to ever-changing priorities, direction and overall poor management skills. - Fear-based environment and lack of rules when it comes to promotion/advancement. Now it looks like everybody is getting promoted. (i was recently told I could get a promotion with 6 months to make me stick around). I d rather work in a great environment than getting a promotion. The company has grown too fast and people end up managing teams without the right experience nor support. - Weak HR organization. It is very hard to "be yourself" despite the marketing campaign. Alteryx is taking the culture issue seriously and now, every 2 days, someone from the company talks about how amazing Alteryx is on social media. Isn’t that odd? People who are considering a job at Alteryx, ask yourself: does this look spontaneous or is it a marketing campaign? Look at other companies in the space, read the reviews, talk to your network.
