Pros

-Product is great -Cloture -Work life balance - Attunity acquisition was brilliant

Cons

Data analytics company that cannot pay commission is a disgrace. Every paycheck is a lottery, if you receive a payment you are afraid to use it because you don't know if they will take it way from in the next payroll. Cumbersome commission plan that incentivizes the wrong behavior with many definitions that exist only in this company. You can be paid for deals that you didn't sell and the opposite way get zero commissions for deals that you worked so hard for. If you reach out to the compensation team, it will take months to receive a response if you are lucky enough to receive one. Commission report that is impossible to read or understand. I hope that someone at TB will see this review and understand why the results look so bad this year and why all the good sales reps are leaving Qlik.

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.
