Pros

They regularly deposit money into my bank account. Data products probably will not go out of style anytime soon.

Cons

People are rude, condescending, and not willing to work together. Things will be demanded from top leadership and everyone will scramble to get it done despite the fact it was a stupid idea to begin with and we never should have done it. The final result is employees who don't like working together because they were put under enormous pressure to get a project done, unsatisfied fellow employees (with the project's final results), chaos, and generally nothing to show for it except we 'checked the box' that it happened. Poorly managed layoffs occurred starting mid July and are still ongoing, leading to an enormous culture of fear as every week or so it seems you learn someone else has been told their time is up. You never know when it might be your turn!

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.
