Pros

The technology and products are great. Unique and patented technology, Associative Index Engine, to the industry.

Cons

The Americas has become a political nightmare and is getting worse under the current president of Americas. Nepotism run rampant has destroyed the company culture in the Americas. To get ahead in Sales and Marketing it has very little to do with what you know and almost everything to do with who you know. Very sad as the culture was so strong prior. Comp plans are sub-par unless you are hired and managed by a friend.

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.

Finally getting through big-company growing pains

Pros

Relaxed attitude and decent work-life balance encouraged; good benefits. Finance encourages frugality but teams and offices get the funding they need

Cons

HR & IT struggling to keep pace with the growth of the company. Middle management overly focused on short-term thinking. Transition towards a bigger company resulting in arbitrary one-size-fits-all processes.
