Pros

The product is incredible, the people you work side by side with are amazing and the working environments are nice. There is a culture toward helping others with afg (alteryx for good). Agile environment is run properly and the way the teams are broken out is very effective. Most days are enjoyable!

Cons

There is never a feeling of safety or security, the leadership change their needs and direction on a weekly basis creating mass confusion. Its people aren't taken seriously and our executive team are too busy fighting each other to provide any real form of direction to their teams (and it feels like we are hiring a new chief every other month). It is also very clique-y. Working weekends is a regular thing as there is too much being asked of individuals and not enough people to manage the workload in every department. Finally, I am transgender and openly trans in every other aspect of my life... but not at work as I believe from what I see that it would hinder my ability to perform as well as severely impact my success.

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
