An old-school backwards mysognist place with failed acquisitions - Senior Manager Qlik Employee Review

Pros

Buy buying companies, they have a great set of products for their field to sell. Some nice people that actually care about the business.

Cons

Too many to count. They are an old-school company and not a tech firm. There is NO diversity at the top and many of the leaders treat underlings like chattel or hired help. They keep cutting and cutting because their PE owners keep telling them to (and they keep the cheapest people - not the best ones). Run away from this place! They are bleeding people left right and center. There is no investment in career advancement and the pay is well below market. They will not IPO - they will end up being sold to another data firm and get absorbed into them and the CEO will make a windfall.

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.
