Pros

Alteryx has many of the great benefits that come with working for a tech company. The health insurance is absolutely incredible. Additionally they provide 50% 401k matches and 3 weeks off starting. Pay is also pretty competitive. There are lots of really great employees here. Management laid off a lot of them, but they still remain. I really like a lot of my direct peers as people. The SDR organization also has great diversity, especially for a sales org.

Cons

The company seems to be quickly going downhill. When I started we were growing fast and management was pitching the idea of us becoming a “world class organization” and a “billion dollar company”. I believed in the vision. Now I’m actively job hunting and can’t wait to leave. A lack of structure for training and dozens of reorganizations in the SDR org has led to a “sink or swim” environment and lots of people in the role who don’t know what they are doing. Leadership invested in rapid growth without evaluating whether our existing structures could handle it. Then they laid off 11% of the company. There is currently no internal path for promotion. Most of us joined Alteryx under the guise that promoting internally was easy. Now some of us have been here for two years and see no path for growth. Additionally, most of the formerly promoted SDRs were laid off in April. The VP of this organization seems invested only in our quotas but not us as individuals. They constantly talk about how much money they make and their lavish vacations, but can’t be bothered to learn our names or listen to our problems. This ship is on fire.

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.
