Pros

In the past, it was a people-centric, forward thinking company with focus on a great product. The only current pros are that the handful of remaining leaders and employees from past days that haven't been let go are wonderful to work with.

Cons

The company has turned into a greedy machine that does not value its people whatsoever. That is evident by the mass layoffs every time there is an acquisition and the completely arbitrary way people were chosen to be let go of. Literally it was like they chose at random... and didn't care at all. Lars must be ashamed to see what became of his former Swedish-cultured company. Likewise the product offerings have become schizophrenic. It's like Qlik has abandoned what its sweet spot was to try and touch every possible offering and vertical they can without really thinking through the repercussions.

Pros

Transparency, work/life balance, everyone here is treated as an adult, autonomy, benefits are great for the USA, people here are very intelligent, kind, honest, and hardworking.

Cons

Corporate bonuses are only paid to director level and above. I wish some sort of bonus was paid to everyone.

Pros

The people you meet at Qlik are one of a kind. Truly amazing, dedicated, supportive people. Whether that be the Demand Center leadership, your peers, or the sales managers. The culture here is phenomenal!

Cons

Too many changes, every year or sometimes even couple of months, you have new managers and a new territory. It’s hard to get a handle of it coming from one industry and training to another. The pay is low compared to other SDR/BDR roles in the industry. No fault to the managers on the BDR team, but the senior leadership tends to care more about activity volume on top of quota. You could hit your quota by 110% and they’ll still ask you to get 100s of calls in a day. The company has also lost the plot on product. Qlik Sense is an amazing analytics tool. If they doubled down on their analytics and made it truly in the cloud and low code/no code, they’d have better results.
