Pros

There are a few good people still left at Alation. Recruiters if you reach out to Alation people, they WILL take your call to GET OUT.

Cons

Alation doesn't like giving full comp and will do whatever it takes to make sure you don't get paid. Product team is lazy and can't keep the product working. Company has zero budget for anything.

Alation Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I wanted to take an opportunity to respond to your review. It sounds like you’re coming from a place of great frustration and disappointment in your experience here. While the comments above are yours to have as opinions, having been on the executive team for over 5 years, I honestly don’t align or stand behind much of the sentiment. It sounds like Alation wasn’t a good fit for you and I genuinely hope you find a better fit elsewhere. We strive to provide an environment where Alationaults feel they’re valued, treated fairly and respected. My door is always open if you’d like to talk live. I welcome feedback, especially constructive feedback from our employees. We’re always looking for ways to learn how we can grow and improve. Joy Wolken, Chief People Officer
