Pros

There are a few sales leaders who care about development, and who share knowledge of how to get better. The product is good, but overpriced. Benefits are great.

Cons

This is an extremely fast-paced sales job focused on extreme growth quickly. Your success in sales is directly tied to the account set you are given. With bad accounts, you can spend 10-12 hours a day crafting the right message and engaging the right people and still not find success. I was put on a performance plan after only 6-7 months. A lot of companies recognize the time it takes to get familiar with the product, accounts, and industry. Some even provide a guarantee for 6-12 months. 3 month guarantee (not even 100% payout) with Alteryx. And no exit interview when let go. Seems like they don't value feedback from the lower tiers on the performance of management.

Thanks for sharing your feedback on your experience here at Alteryx. I agree with you that we are fortunate to have a leadership team who are as invested in developing our people as our products. And we're working every day to expand our benefits offerings to ensure our associates are cared for as they grow their careers here. I appreciate your feedback on your own experience on our Sales team - yours is helpful input as we continue to review and enhance our sales onboarding process and the way we provide support as our account executives ramp in their role. Your lack of an exit interview is direct feedback I'm taking for action to see where we had a process gap. If you're still willing, please reach out to me directly and I would be grateful for a few minutes of your time to take live feedback on how else we can improve. 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
