Thread regarding Alteryx layoffs

The real change - when does that happen?

Obviously this company has been through a TON in the last 12-24 months, however, one of the main issues that caused it to fail, absolute and complete failure in product and engineering, has still not been addressed by the new investors.

SV and his cronies - despite their continued and multiple failures - are still here. The cloud products they've shipped are embarrassing and beyond redemption yet somehow they haven't had to answer for these utter failures. Why do AML and AAI continue to receive funding despite having like 15 active accounts across both and abysmal renewal rates? Aiden copilot is a joke compared to snowflake and Databricks's SQL assistants and has been panned by most early testers (just like designer cloud was)

When will our new overlords wake up to the fact that the core of R&D in this TECHNOLOGY company is completely rotten and needs open heart surgery? Surely they must be aware that they only have so much runway to clip coupons on existing contracts before the ARR starts to erode away to real innovators? No amount of BCG consultants poking at roadmap slides will solve the catastrophic product failures this leadership team has been responsible for. Are we really going to fu--ing rely on outsiders in suits to tell us what product to build and how to build it?

Are they just waiting for a new CEO ? How much longer can status quo continue? The R&D org is completely paralyzed.

how is it possible to have 300+ bugs in a single on-prem release? Don't we have a QA group? surely someone must stand to lose their job if this happens and that too consistently?

Easy.

The best QAs they had were laid off. Enough said.

What do you mean that 'SV and co go carried away by the cloud'? They are building something clearly.... isn't cloud a core piece of that?

It's frustrating that every version of on-prem being released still has over 300 bugs on average. What's even more concerning is that I'm working with people who don't seem to care or even acknowledge the problem.

It all goes back to the CPO (SV), does not have a strategy and vision. They got carried away by the cloud and not delivering anything of value. Surprised that the investors have still kept SV in the role..

So are there more product managers than engineers still?

Gotta love all the PMs who can't write a line of code... is that person who brags about their days when they "delivered code to Apple" still around? I would bet a large amount that they'll never deliver anything of value.
