Pros

Clients who have adopted Qlik are generally satisfied and see the value that makes Qlik unique.

Cons

Why would you hire sales leadership that has never worked in the BI industry? Not just one or two, the entire leadership team! Learning curve for them has been painful. I'm not even sure if they fully understand what we do... Marketing, where do we start..How bout with the top. Does the CMO even still work here? MIA. Someone send out a missing persons bulletin...Actually it may be better that hes missing, cant cause any more problems for the field. . Good tech - weak leadership.

We have many team members and leaders from other technology and industry backgrounds. This diversity has strengthened our product innovation and engagement with prospects and customers. As you mentioned, we regularly seek input from the organization, including surveys and listening forums led by the leadership team, to help us improve our ways of working. We’d encourage you to take advantage of these channels to make a difference where you feel strongly (e.g., contact your C&T business partner to be included in a listening forum and share your input directly with leaders who can take action). The marketing department has seen increased investment to focus on brand and marketing campaigns that emphasize our end-to-end data and analytics messaging and are aligned with the sales organization. We think you’ll find their leadership team very approachable and open to talking and receiving input. Teamwork for results, yes?

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.
