      Mostly bad, some good - Anonymous employee Qlik Employee Review

      Pros

      Collegiality and overall friendliness of everyone I've encountered. Good work/life balance.

      Cons

      A barebones 401k program that offers a meager match. Too much organizational silo'ing and institutional confusion. Nobody REALLY knows what anybody else does except if they work closely. Poorly defined processes and a deference to senior staffers breaking any process there is in place because they're just too important; an HR department that doesn't even have a general number; opaqueness around promotions; a performance management system ("conversations") that, without providing ratings and just narrative assessments, seems largely designed to avoid people pointing to strong annual assessment to justify promotions. A non-equitable bonus structure; only people within certain salary bands are bonus eligible. I've never encountered this before and for a company that prides itself on equity that's pretty hypocritical. An obsession over surveys, analyst reports and a huge emphasis on sales to the point of sidelining every other concern. Oh, and lastly, an employee survey that doesn't ask a really obvious and tough question: Do you feel fairly compensated?

      Thanks for the feedback. Qlik frequently evaluates industry trends around the globe to ensure competitive pay and benefits that align with the market. For the past several years, we have also increased our investment in employee development and training. We strive to create a culture of coaching and high performance. Qlik Conversations is a more modern approach that creates an ongoing dialogue between leaders and team members versus the old annual performance management review systems. A majority of Qlik employees really appreciate this system. We want everyone to feel a sense of pride when discussing their experience as a Qlikkie – past or present – and continually gather input through our quarterly surveys to improve our ways of working, enhance everyone’s career experience and provide growth opportunities. Culture & Talent Business Partners support each geographic area of the business and are available locally. We encourage you to discuss your concerns with your manager and local Culture & Talent Business Partner. #OpenAndStraightforward

      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.
