Pros

Nice office, lots of free food, generally smart and talented co-workers. Product is growing a lot of new customers, and appears to be well funded.

Cons

Upon getting hired, you will be sent to "boot camp" for a few days where you spend 1/2 the time learning how to use the product, and the other half learning how lucky you are to be working there. You'll be treated to hours of lectures and slides and a speech from the CEO about how utterly and fantastically great the company is. You will also be encouraged to leave positive reviews on glassdoor.com, BTW. Also, be prepared to be summarily tossed under the bus without warning if something goes wrong on your watch. Be prepared to have your manager take you into a back office and tell the HR people on the record that you intentionally caused the problem and you alone bore responsibility, even if there was a systemic breakdown of process that your manager never addressed. Know that these decisions will be made hundreds of miles away in a corporate office without hearing your side, or making an attempt to address the underlying causes. Note also that your position is still open, even months afterward, making you wonder if you were tossed on a pretense as a cost cutting measure since your team was overstaffed.

Thank you for your feedback. It sounds as if you enjoyed working with your co-workers and liked the office environment at Alteryx - that’s great to hear. Our boot camp is an opportunity for associates to learn more about the product, gain an understanding of the various departments at Alteryx, and meet the CEO, CCO and other company leaders. We will take your feedback into consideration as we plan future boot camps for our associates. We consistently strive to improve our processes and appreciate your feedback. Our associates are encouraged to leave transparent feedback on Glassdoor (both positive and constructive) and we will address the concerns noted. Thank you again for providing your feedback regarding the breakdown in process you observed. We will look into this and address any issues that are uncovered.

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.
