Pros

Very interesting software and quite a good pay. Some benefits, like a probably bonus (10%, in Support)

Cons

A somewhat dysfunctional company within different departments, including Support and Research and Development. A young Human Resources team which does not really defend the employee if needed. Merit is not a matter for promotion. No security you will keep your job after your probation period. I know several employees who did a decent job who did not make it due to obscure and pretty much unknown reasons. You have to be liked, as it seems to be more about the perception they have of you, so watch out. This company has no contract with a union providing defense to its employees.

Pros

The latest iteration of the products, and the platform strategy are truly leading the market and 2016 is going to be an exciting year for the company. Field Sales are able to run their own territories and are empowered to deliver the results asked of them without too much micromanagement. The UK culture is fun, welcoming and generally a good community to be a part of and I certainly don't think anyone dreads going to the office! The company does a fairly good job of providing you with the technology to do your job, with a good platform of technologies underpinning everything from CRM to HR.

Cons

Qlik prides itself on it's Swedish heritage, but it is now very clearly an American corporate business. Global leadership is increasingly US-centric and very top-heavy compared to overall inside and field resource. Grass roots recruitment and retainment is a real challenge for the company, yet the answer to too many issues seems to be adding more layers of (often US-based) management. Politics are increasing, as the US direction and lack of a Global Sales Strategy becomes a challenge yet to successfully address. Better and more frequent SPIFS would be welcome. The organisation also struggles with the concept of being sales-led, Sales people often feel a need to have to prove why they need resources to get a job done.
