Thanks for taking time to share your feedback, and for your more than decade of service to Alteryx. Our Colorado-based Engineering team are some of the very best - both technically - and in terms of how they show up to and for each other as colleagues. While building individual components of software can be a very focused activity, I'm glad to hear you feel like you're working alongside knowledgeable colleagues who are committed to continuous learning and growth. Thanks also for your feedback on the importance of transparency and equity when it comes to how we engage with each other as colleagues and leaders. When we were a much smaller company (and pre-public), I imagine it was far easier to feel the pulse of what was going on in the company...not to mention when we were able to work together in the office! As we continue to scale, we're focused squarely on maintaining our focus on our core values, and continuing our culture of information sharing and collective accountability to each other. Given your tenure with Alteryx, I'd be grateful for your feedback and ideas as I onboard. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly so we can find some time to connect 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
