Hi there - thanks for your feedback on your experience here as a Field Sales Rep. Among all the roles at an enterprise software company, yours is among the most challenging - and rewarding - as you work with our customers (both current and prospective!) every day. I agree that we have a top-notch leadership team, and we've created a sales culture not only of success, but of teamwork, mutual support and collaboration. Thanks also for your feedback on the quotas and goals - needless to say, we're continuously refining the way we build territories and set quotas for our go to market team. We are focused on ensuring they're constructed in a way that is both mindful of the market (especially as it shifts) and of the ability for our sales team to succeed and achieve on a personal and professional level. As we move into FY21 planning, thank you in advance for your feedback on how the process is occurring for you - please feel free to reach out to me directly or to your HR business partner to share your input and insights. The Sales Strategy team will continue to refine their approach with input from trusted colleagues like you. Please keep the input coming! Thanks, David

Pros

-Strong technical talent and knowledgeable colleagues who genuinely know the analytics/data space -Product still has real technical depth and a loyal user base, but the move th AlteryxOne is causing renewal issues -Historically solid brand recognition in the data/analytics community

Cons

-Repeated rounds of layoffs have left remaining staff stretched thin and anxious about job security -Since the PE acquisition, decisions feel driven by short-term financial targets rather than product or people -Leadership has changed multiple times in a short window, with little continuity or clear long-term vision communicated downward Trust between employees and management has eroded — morale is low and turnover (voluntary and involuntary) has hollowed out institutional knowledge -Culture has shifted from collaborative to guarded; people are protecting themselves rather than working openly -Communication from leadership during restructuring has felt reactive rather than transparent
