Pros

telecommute if you are in the right role

Cons

I worked for Qlik just under 8 years through a variety of stages. Private, Public, Acquiring, Acquired. In the early years Qlik had a unique and engaging culture. The previous CEO Lars had a vision and really cared about the company, products and employees. When he left the culture went with him, new management is purely focused on top down communications, strategy is not transparent, culture is non-existent. The only satisfied employees are those who are focused on managing upward not producing anything of quality. Sad, slow demise of what was once a great place to work. HR is a joke. If your interested in working here- get REAL feedback from ex-employees not the ones talking about the 'NEW QLIK' because they are handing out the Kool-Aid cups. Maybe an influx of new talent that's not so political could make a culture change for the better. Curious to see what will happen with SFDC as a competitor.

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.
