Pros

The work is interesting, and my contributions are recognized

Cons

We've merged with a lot of companies, and our execs don't have a lot of history with the company. Most of them can't even use our flagship product. The roadmap changes quarterly. Immediate profitability has suddenly become important, so we now only hire in India or eastern Europe. So it seems from the trenches. Or we get the lowest bidder contractors.

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
