Pros

Work-life balance is good. Remote friendly* Really, really great co-workers. Fun problems with a recent embrace of modern technology stacks and large scale infrastructure.

Cons

They seem to begrudgingly allow remote work rather than embrace it and it's definitely tougher to stand out as a remote worker. Leadership has a history of high churn and disorganization, but that seems to be improving slowly. The requirements for a promotion and the entire process around that are inconsistent from team to team and it seems challenging for some to get promoted.

Hi there and thanks for sharing your thoughts. When it comes to remote work, we're definitely in a transition phase, and from Mark and me, all the way through the rest of the leadership team, we're committed to finding, hiring and engaging the best talent wherever it may be, to include hybrid and fully remote. To that end, we had a hybrid work training for the managers a few weeks back, and have an IC training session coming up this week in fact. As individuals and as an organization, we've learned a lot over the past 1.5+ years, but still have some things to clarify and align on, so please keep the feedback coming. And please know that we are fully committed to being a company with work options that gives people an environment where they can succeed. 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
