Pros

The product is second to none - simple, powerful and works as advertised. Great corporate culture - open & straightforward, move fast, challenge and take responsibility. CEO, COO, CTO and other older management actually live by these values. Vision executed to perfection - from startup to IPO to industry leader.

Cons

New management jumped on the the gravy train and only pay lip service to corporate values. Too many middle managers with randomly generated job titles justifying their existence creating unproductive work for others - endless powerpoint and meetings culture creeping in. Not enough perks or opportunities outside US or Europe - poorly run offices, unskilled sales teams,... Product vision unclear - all the focus is on one competitor

Pros

Qlik just let go their CRO, CMO, and GM. These are the right moves to fix a failing model.

Cons

Massive org disruptions cause delays in productivity.
