Pros

Great dedicated employees Flexible working arrangements

Cons

I've worked at Qlik for years and used to say it was a great place to work. Recently the culture changed. Senior management has been committing to release deadlines without giving teams a chance to plan the work. This causes chaos, shortcuts, poor quality, lots of stress. I really hope the company can change direction before more good people leave.

It’s true that we are working in a very dynamic, fast-paced environment and strive to be flexible to address the needs of the organization and our customers. We continually gather input through our quarterly surveys to improve our ways of working. As one of our Core Values, we value Open and Straightforward feedback and hope you will share your feedback via the survey and discuss your concerns with your manager or Culture & Talent Business Partner (BP).

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.
