Pros

The (legacy) product attracts a cult-like following. It's fun to sell and the company attracts some solid talent as a result. I have met some really amazing people through Alteryx.

Cons

I was employed with Alteryx for three years (left voluntarily) and worked through three weeks in June 2024. I never got my final commission payout. I contacted the commissions team and was informed that I had not earned any commissions in June. I verified that my counterpart at the time (team goal) did receive a June commission payout. Despite following up THREE (3) times, nobody will respond. I'm not surprised. The commissions team has to be stretched thin. In my time with company, nothing implemented lasted six months. There were layoffs, reorgs, acquisitions, new playbooks, new account alignments... that's a lot to sort out. I sincerely hope there isn't a possum crossing in western Utah, it might actually impede this company from functioning. More tactically, we were incentivized to sell the cloud "platform", but it felt dishonest. Conceptually, it was really cool, but there were huge gaps (and bugs) in the functionality. At the time of my departure, Designer Cloud could not perform an "analytic" (window) function comparing rows of data with pushdown processing. Tough sell when your primary target is a finance team doing period-over-period analysis. Just learn SQL...? Learning a simple coding language might save you the frustration of a code-free solution that just doesn't work. Internally, the "analytics company" can't figure out measurement. I, and a few others, "qualified" for president's club, only to have it pulled back with an explanation of "oops, Workday updated". Never thought I would leave a one-star review when joining this company. Take it with a grain of salt. This company needs a new breath of life. It likely won't get it under private equity. Good ideas die slowly.

Pros

Great healthcare benefits and the legacy product still works

Cons

You won’t find worse leadership, micromanagement, broken processes, and a new ‘vision’ every quarter. Customers have stopped renewing and they are forced to buy features they don’t use or want.
