Pros

Amazing Product - very forward thinking - innovation is high- looking beyond the now to the future. Starting to make acquisitions to fill gaps If we could just fire the leadership we'd be killing it - great people work here but they all are giving up and moving on Customers are awesome they love the product - shield them from executives and they are happy

Cons

Comp plans are ok if you're making your number. Less than 20% are making their number. Most are at 50% of plan or less Marketing - There is none - there's supposed to be a grand new plan but it never materializes - We were leaders in our space now people think we've gone out of business because we don't do any marketing Employee annual review process poor- allocation of annual merit payments is arbitrary - if you're one of the favorites your fine Americas sales management leadership is terrible - Oracle old boys club- if you're not one you're not part of the team - and not getting promoted Turn over is huge and HR does nothing to change that - they are all part of the network supporting the bad leadership The board is taking too long to take action.

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.
