Hi Fishes, I am considering a Senior Engineer role with Alteryx (previously Hyper Anna) Sydney. If it's not too much trouble, I was hoping if anyone here could share their experience of working at Alteryx Sydney in terms of Culture, work life balance, politics, work pressure, people, Leadership and product. Thanks.

They found me on LinkedIn :)

The position I ultimately accepted originated from a LinkedIn job posting.
LinkedIn job posting; company websites (not all positions are posted elsewhere); indeed.com; goinhouse.com; attorneyjobsinusa.com. Mine all of the above for job posting. Spot jobs early and apply immediately.
I second applying immediately. Jobs will disappear sometimes within a few days. I struggled with this while also working my firm job because I was so miserable I didn’t do anything quickly. It was only when I started quickly applying that I started getting interviews
LinkedIn but applied through the company website
I saw a posting for a job at a client and reached out to a client contact directly to express interest.
Firm alumni I used to work with who went in house a couple years ago
Through networking at a conference.
Goinhouse.com
LinkedIn and also saw it on goinhouse.com
Word of mouth/LinkedIn. A mentor partner who left my firm knew I was looking to get out. A new client of his needed someone in-house and he recommended me. I knew about the position before it popped up on LinkedIn, which is how I ultimately applied, but I’m sure the personal referral gave me a big advantage in getting the job.
A recruiter found me on LinkedIn
Oddly enough I applied for a regulatory position because they did not have in-house counsel and they began to gradually give me all legal work when they realized how much I could do and that could save….lol
Found mine through networking, but goinhouse.com is also a great resource.
LinkedIn. It took me 2 separate applications and 2 different sets of interviews to land my role so don’t give up!
I never thought I would go in house. I’m the type most would say should avoid in-house. Im a litigator. But one of my clients had a need for a GC (their first GC position as well as mine). As terrifying as it was/still is, their offer coupled with my entrepreneurial spirit made it a no brainer for me. I didn’t have a transactional background, but I had litigated tons of contracts. And while it’s been a challenge (most things worth doing are), I must say I’ve really enjoyed the transition and learned a ton. At the very least, I am gaining invaluable experience that will no doubt benefit me as a litigator if I end up falling flat on my face. However, my litigation background is called upon daily and has proved to be extremely useful; especially when only given hours to offer critical advice about an issue that will likely result in litigation. I understand the concern some may have about my lack of experience in contract drafting, but, I couldn’t imagine offering advice on liability exposure without ever having litigated a case. Drafting contracts and learning transactional disciplines scratches my learning-fix and typically provide plenty notice for the deadline (at least in my industry). The daily variety really keeps it interesting. Best of luck!
