Pros

The company once had a great culture and environment, an interesting and innovative approach to business intelligence and data visualization software, and a bright, energetic team. Qlik is undergoing a massive transformation, which is creating great opportunity for advancement, for some. Qlik's previous investments in a partner ecosystem has resulted in a large community of product experts and excellent successful implementations, delivering great value to customers

Cons

As in many organizational transformations, the current environment is more than usually difficult. Many of the innovative leaders and best talent left in late 2017 and early 2018. Qlik is backfilling with resources who know the product well, but not necessarily individuals with the same degree of innovation, passion, or courage to approach things differently. This works for now because the transformation end state is being decided by external consultants, and organic innovation is not desired. Qlik was valued for its unique and quite Swedish culture, but this is no longer the corporate vibe that employees feel.

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.
