Pros

Great salary and overall package.

Cons

Leadership are invulnerable while making mass layoffs. EMEA leadership may as well be sales operations in the way they manage. Their solution to tough times being to 'just sell one more license'. Redundancies blatantly based on favouritism and not performance with completely subjective criteria that neither they nor HR could define or explain. A real kick in the teeth when you've been aggressively recruited with promises of grandeur. This made even worse when the person who made those decisions had only been with the company for 4-5 months. IYKYK. Despite all of this, not one senior executive has faced the same treatment. That same leadership team has also been known to publically shout at staff. Completely unacceptable. End of quarter reaks of desperation and customers know it. It's embarrassing. My mental health was badly affected during my last 6 months. AVOID!

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
