Pros

Customers love Alteryx Great success stories and a good name on the market You can make decent money Working with some seriously smart and passionate people Some of the recent changes were overdue and will make Alteryx better

Cons

The Alteryx Designer core product is old and the company is playing catch up to cloud technologies Top and middle management team has been swapped out at record pace and some replacements seem to have not been properly screened Some criticism and concerns about those changes have been brushed aside and a lot of employees seem alienated and some have left New hires I talked to are already concerned about the state of the company Share price plummeted, which may be because investors lost faith

Thanks for taking time to share your feedback, and for the thoughtful pro's you highlighted - I agree with you that our customer evangelism is top-notch (I was a customer myself, in fact!) and that the changes we've put in place from both a leadership and go to market perspective - as well as those Product changes going into place now - are critical for our company's next steps on this journey. Please keep the feedback coming and don't hesitate to reach out to me directly with any other feedback where you see actionable areas where we can improve! Thanks, David

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I agree with you that Alteryx is a great place to build skills, and a great place to build a career and lasting relationships. As you mention, our user community is first-rate, and our customers are a key source of inspiration for the hard work and innovation that goes into our platform, products and solutions. As we scale, we're continuing to be mindful of work-life integration, having recently decided that we will shift permanently to a virtual-friendly workplace, where our associates are able to work with their manager to decide where and how they work best. Thanks, David

Tough sales job

Pros

- Good product. Our top customers do find Alteryx performs excellently and occupies a niche that is not met by other vendors in the space. - Good compensation. OTE is good and if you're successful in your role you can make a good amount of money, especially considering the young age of many reps. - Management tries hard to foster an open and collaborative culture. I find that everyone I have worked with is easy to get on with and professional, as well as good at their job.

Cons

- Tough to sell, not a "sexy" product and does require commitment from clients. Requires sales reps who understand complex sales cycles and technical requirements. - Almost entirely self-generated leads - inflexible sales processes, though this is reportedly being addressed as a priority by management. - Whilst not "hire and fire" this is certainly not a job for someone who needs 6 - 12 months to get up to speed. - High sales rep attrition - Currently going through lots of changes, loss of leadership, redundancies, territory and role reassignments

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful feedback - when people like you take time to share your input, it affirms the value of Glassdoor both for employees, candidates and companies, and for that I wanted to express my gratitude. I agree with you that the prominence of our product in being able to help solve customer's toughest challenges is the most important piece of our overall value proposition, surpassed only perhaps by the quality of the Alteryx employees who design, build, market, sell and service those products every day. Thanks for your feedback on how to ensure we're optimizing our employees' time - you're right that front-loading all training in Q1 can make it tough to have a fast start to the year, and we're working on how to further our culture of learning so that those activities are ongoing throughout the year and more manageable from a time perspective. Please keep the feedback coming! Thanks, David
