Qlik reviews

All of the $$$ coming in through the front door goes right out the back. They actually spent tons of money on creating a talk show format just to deliver the annual kickoff meeting. A host, TV cameras, couches, a band. Then it was taped in front of an audience of employees (who were allowed to leave work to attend btw) and later simulcast to the very same employees and the rest of the company. Tons of $$$ wasted on a 2 hr meeting that could have simply been held in a large conference room. You just can't make this stuff up! Just one example out of many! No real governance over operations which leads to increased costs due to inefficiency. Attempts to correct this have been painfully slow and lacked proper funding and support from management. The company had lost so much $ because of poor operating margins that it had to sell to a private equity firm who is most likely going to put some spit and polish on it and sell the first chance they get. Feedback to upper management in operations is frowned upon. You are not viewed as a "team player" if you raise concerns. Very political and retaliatory. They simply expect you to perform with minimal tools and support. Beware!

We went private equity and downhill from Qlik’s acquisition. No upside compensation since going private. Lost everything in equity when Qlik acquired Talend.
