Pros

-Pockets of good people still around -Decent initial pay, good benefits -Promotion potential within your specialty

Cons

I started several months before the company went public at the Broomfield office. The culture was the best I've ever experienced anywhere. Post IPO, the tale-as-old-as-time chipping away at what made the company great began. -Employees became the least valued commodity -Empty diversity gestures and programming -Every single product decision is based on short term bullets for investors -Yes men/women were installed as middle managers as we grew operations; very much their way or the highway - zero top cover from the other yes leaders -Team bonding lunches were axed (new hires, promotions, birthday months) -Pre-Covid catering fell off a cliff -Office arcades/table tennis/pool is for recruitment only and will not be tolerated -Had to document my work in several different tracking applications per week so management could forward and get their kudos -Hemorrhaging their best people in the name of impressing investors but the stock price just keeps falling. I would avoid working here if you have the option. A true shame.

Hi and thanks for sharing your feedback - and thank you for the contributions you made to building and scaling our culture. While I'm still in my first year here at Alteryx, I can imagine how it felt to help the company IPO and then chart the course to life as a public company. And I'm sorry to hear that some of the dimensions that you enjoyed about your experience have shifted, exacerbated by COVID - I know the in-office experience was greatly enjoyed by so many folks across so many companies, and I'm hopeful about our reopening plans that we're rolling out now around the world over the coming months. Please accept my apology that we missed the opportunity to do an exit interview - our intention is to have exit insight conversations with any associate who chooses to move on to the next stage in their journey, and your case should have been no exception. If you're willing, I'd be grateful for a few minutes of your time to take your feedback as we continue to grow and improve as a company. Thanks, David

Pros

Great healthcare benefits and the legacy product still works

Cons

You won’t find worse leadership, micromanagement, broken processes, and a new ‘vision’ every quarter. Customers have stopped renewing and they are forced to buy features they don’t use or want.
