Pros

Culture, values, people, products, facilities, perks, and our mission to change the world for the better! The unbelievable focus on charity work/CSR locally and globally makes me feel proud to work here. Everyone gets to take time off from work to do charitable work, and employees can sign up to travel to places like to Africa to see first hand the impact we are having with our efforts. There's also an incredible focus on taking care of employees that I've not experienced anywhere else. During our 2016 kick-off meeting, they just gave every employee worldwide $500 in stock as a gift and announced a whole list of new programs that they will introduce, so they really take care of us. Also, they really trust people here to get their jobs done without breathing down our necks. We have total flexibility to do our job when and where we want, as long as we get the job done. Feels great to be treated like a responsible adult! You also can really make a difference here because we are still a pretty flat organization, and good work will stand out and will be recognized. I'm also really proud of some major leadership changes the company made recently. It was time. I could go on and on....

Cons

Not many. Some of our processes are still a bit clumsy because we are just "growing up" as a company, but it's being addressed through a major initiative.

Pros

The company and product are awesome. Despite having gone public you can tell that a lot of the company's 'Swedish soul' is still in tact. This means that they really do earnestly try to provide an enriching environment for their staff and provide lots of opportunities for improvement.

Cons

The Sales Cycle runs this company. That is so unfortunate that they are tied to performances of quarters since a lot of opportunities take longer than they want. Every sales person is constantly fretting about their quotas instead of trying to earn value with partnerships and happy clients. This means as soon as you buy you're not going to have much support and that's a travesty!

Pros

The brand-new new product, Qlik Sense, is one of the top if not the best data analysis product out there. R&D has done a phenomenal job in creating something beautiful, easy to use, and useful. Qlik should be proud of what it has accomplished - re-revolutionize the BI industry once again. The challenge is still around increasing market awareness. Qlik has been around for 20 years but Tableau has recently taken the lead in awareness. Qlik is well-positioned to take that back with proper marketing and customer nurturing. Tons of career opportunities if you know how to network across the company. People change roles frequently and it's not discouraged.

Cons

The company has grown so fast (head count doubles every few years) in so many locations (Philadelphia, San Francisco, Raleigh, London, Sweden, Singapore, etc) that it's gotten very difficult to keep track of who's doing what and has resulted in duplication of effort or lack of alignment. These challenges can certainly be overcome but be aware of what type of environment YOU thrive in. Some people love the far-flung international culture, others don't fit.
