Pros

No real pro's to discuss currently. No real direction from management currently makes for uncertainty.

Cons

Recently witnessed multiple rounds of layoffs before and after Talend merger. CEO was very tone deaf in addressing layoffs of previous company merged employees during all-hands call; very briefly mentioning the hardship for those people and quickly changing the subject and talk about their fun times at a company meeting. A bit crass to say the least. Most recent merger has ended up in more layoffs with limited information on where the company is currently heading and the same tone deaf response. This just leaves a bad feeling for everyone currently in the company.

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.
