High turnover, micromanagement and racism scandal - Account Executive Alteryx Employee Review

The destruction of a very good company culture started September 2020 when the new CEO Mark Anderson was appointed. He changed many of the C-level executives including appointing the new CRO who is no longer with the company as of now. In his 6 weeks in this position Dean Darwin managed to demotivate and disgust many people. Eventually he was fired because of racist comments he left on Twitter and Linkedin. However, it took the company 1 week to make that decision and the CEO, his buddy from the past, even wanted to protect him. Other than that the company has introduced MEDDPICC as a sales methodology and is creating more and more metrics to micromanage its employees. PG call days are blocked and activities are tracked. And this is just the beginning... Many people were let go at the beginning of the year and many more to follow because they will not want to work in this depressing culture. The high turnover is accepted by senior management as they look to bring in people who would do what they want and how they want it. Alteryx core products are still on-premis despite us living in the year 2021. When I was hired a few years ago I was told that the customers didnt care too much about it. Now almost all companies have cloud strategies and Alteryx is failing to move into the cloud due to a very weak and slow software engineering team.
