Alteryx Response
5y
Thanks for your feedback and for your affirmation of both the quality of our products and the importance of the markets and customers we serve. Our introduction of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) this year was in direct response to employee feedback that they wanted additional clarity and line of sight to how their work contributed to the overall success of Alteryx. While we're still in the first year of OKRs, I'm pleased to see how many of our people and our people leaders are using the structure to add valuable insight into mid-year feedback conversations, also a first for our company. Please keep the feedback coming, and don't hesitate to reach out directly to me if you'd like to share more live! 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
