Pros

There was nothing good about working at Alteryx.

Cons

There are so many so I will list as many as possible: - They recently laid off a bunch of amazing people and the basis on which this decision was made was 100% unfair, to the point where even HR and management kept changing the criteria and couldn't keep up with their lies. But we all knew the real truth, it was based off on favouritism. If you weren't a company sweetheart or a suck up to your manager, you were automatically the first to go. It was ruthless, HR didn't care about how they treated you, and more importantly your management team didn't either, no goodbye, no checking in to see how you or your mental health are. NOTHING. - Alteryx really don't know how to run a business. They force teams to shove additional products down customers throats and keep forcing teams to take part in call-out days. It got to the point where customers were so fed up with speaking to us and weren't interested in doing business with Alteryx anymore. If Alteryx continues like this, I won't be surprised if they're out of business next year. - As soon as I started I could tell there was a really "clique" culture at the company. Managers immediately favoured their friends who had joined the company, company sweethearts, people that sucked up to them and screamed from the rooftop about how great they are. Even if you were an over-achiever and had a great relationship with internal teams and your customers but weren't a suck up, they didn't care about you one bit. In addition to this it was apparent that racism existed in the company, particularly amongst manager and senior leadership and there have been known cases of this previously. This made it an awful place to work, there was no inclusivity whatsoever. - Alteryx has 0 strategy. They're trying to be a cloud company which is failing tremendously because they're not. They don't care about their customers, they just try to manipulate them and take more of their money which is completely unethical. This list could go on and on, but I don't want to waste more time on this rubbish company. If you are thinking to apply here for a job, PLEASE DON'T. If you still work there, GET OUT. No one cares about you, your mental health, whether you're a top achiever, you're just a number. It's the most awful place I've ever worked and by far the worst management I've ever worked for. Please do yourself a favour and don't waste any time on this place!

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
