Ah, the acquisition buzz, our management's favorite party trick! They're keeping us on the edge with this "stay and maybe get axed" game. As for our C-suite, their golden parachutes remain untouched, and empathy is probably just a seven-letter word... — read more

Product & Engineering Now In Caste System
I have noticed this trend that happens to tech companies and it's now in full swing at Alteryx. As soon as someone at VP level takes over an organization, they end-up cleaning house and filling the company with other people who are used to the... — read more
Why isn’t the sales org industry aligned?
I heard Alteryx used to be industry aligned years ago, is that true? The fact that our sales org is currently aligned by geographic region is asinine. Geography doesn’t drive value for customers. Past industry experience does. It seems like all... — read more
If you can, leave now
Things will not improve. Alteryx hasn't been the same company it once was for a while now. Years ago, this was a great place for smart, ambitious young people but now any career progression has been brought to a crawl. Add to that layoffs and lacking... — read more
Lack of vision, leadership, culture and ethics
Always fun to be laid off during pregnancy… I’ll just leave it at that.
Stellar mid year review and then canned 2 weeks later
What a kick in the teeth, get told you are amazing and an asset to the company and then get sh-t canned 2 weeks later. This company was so great when I first joined, the heart and soul are gone and it is so sad. No culture left, yet Mark still gets... — read more
It’s time for the Board to step in
The board of directors needs to step in and assert control over what’s happening at the company. Billions of dollars of value has been destroyed over the past 3 years. This leadership “dream team” brought in largely through nepotism has utterly... — read more
They don't know how to bring out the best in people
While the competition knows how to get the best out of employees, Alteryx does everything to make us lose all motivation. The lack of appreciation we receive is unbelievable and I'm starting to feel more and more unwelcome here. Sometimes I... — read more
Can I volunteer for layoff?
This is a serious question. I have a job waiting for me whenever I want to start, but I don't want to simply walk away and miss out on a nice payout. After so many years here, I do think I deserve it. If there's a way to volunteer, maybe that would... — read more
Employee moral and FY24 Planning
In my 20+ years working, I’ve never seen such low employee morale. Staff all around me have been totally checked out today, away status all day, not responding to teams messages/emails, not engaging in conversations even on external calls. To make... — read more
Is Alteryx admitting to another layoff in November?
There is a document saying something vague about a potential layoff November 15th
Mark’s racist comments on Doniel’s hair
So are we not going to talk about Mark Anderson’s racist comments regarding Doniel’s hair on today’s all hands? Very offensive to black women, not cool.
Sales Org is like musical chairs
Sales territories are a joke. Most teams have one person with great accounts crushing their number and the rest of the team struggling to build pipeline. This is driving up the cost of sale, increasing attrition, and creating a culture that does not... — read more

No warning
Nope . No 60 days notice
Question for those laid off in the past (or friends of them)
Did Alteryx honor the CA Warn List legal requirement to provide at least 2 months severance since they didn’t provide 60 days notice of prior to layoffs?
More layoffs
I know layoffs will probably take place throughout the month, but is there any chance that the brunt of it is over?
Glassdoor Reviews being deleted!
I left a pretty ruthless review and it seems to have been deleted... anyone else had their Reviews deleted ?
An atmosphere of fear and anxiety
This place has become a real mess. Doesn't it seem like our bosses enjoy creating an atmosphere of fear and anxiety? It's incomprehensible why they do it. I can't wait to leave.
Who would buy this company anyway?
When people talk hypothetically about an acquisition, I wonder who would even buy this. I don't believe there is anyone mad enough to do so. You?
Alteryx cutting bonuses — is the rumor true?
Heard on my own and saw on here that employee bonuses are being cut for the September bonus. Can anyone definitively confirm this? If so has the amount of the cut been confirmed? If they do this it is going to drop morale much lower than it has... — read more
Just make sure not to quit
I hear too many people talk about quitting and I personally believe that's a huge mistake. Why walk away and leave possible severance behind? If you are good at what you do, you'll be able to find a new job whether you try now or in a month or two... — read more

Benefits changing?
Someone on the inside, spill the tea. Is the company looking at changing/reducing our benefits? The survey that was sent this morning was worded to indicate as such.
They have failed miserably
With this layoff, Alteryx has shows itself as a company that has masterfully talked the talk, but when it came time to walk the walk and treat departing employees with dignity and respect … and do the right thing … they have absolutely failed... — read more
Applying elsewhere?
I'm very disappointed because I can't land a new job and leave this place. What are your experiences with looking for new offers now?
Jobs are Being Outsourced
I just heard from someone on the inside that a few positions that were terminated in April are now being outsourced. The layoff criteria was so reckless that after the dust settled, a few teams were in obvious need of the people that were let go... — read more
Anything new on August layoffs?
It's been a month since rumors of August layoffs surfaced and we haven't heard anything new since then. I know it's still early, but it would be nice to at least learn if it's still a possibility or if the rumor was buried as unreliable. I know I... — read more
Heartless leadership team in EMEA
To anyone ever looking to work at Alteryx... my advice is don't. With the recent layoffs, the leaders have been so cold towards those affected. The selection criteria has been appalling and all this had been fixed for months. Does anyone know any... — read more

Nothing but a waste of time
I am most sorry that I did not leave this earlier. Granted, I think working here was just a waste of time for many others too?
Just read on Glassdoor: HR is doing some shady things to refrain from having to pay by telling unemployment services people were not "laid off"
Uh -- Yeah, just read this on Glassdoor. Are people seriously getting screwed out of unemployment? Entire post from GD: I was considered a "veteran" employee having been there more than 3+ years as the place is a continuous revolving door... — read more

Is there any truth to the rumor floating around that another round of layoffs are expected after Q2? Anyone with executive insight, please confirm.
Layoff criteria
Does anyone know what the criteria is for the layoffs ?
Horrible place to be right now
Cutting 11% of the workforce. In the USA those effected have already been asked to leave. I know the in other parts of the world there is a consultation where my ex colleagues don't even know if they are staying or going. Everyone has lost faith in... — read more
