@134d I'm interviewing with Qlik (but I have an offer at another company) and am expecting an offer from them either tomorrow or Monday. It's. Avery AI heavy role that's not super well defined. Are these red flags worth considering when I make my decision?
@134a yeah. Exactly. Our marketing is not remotely best in class with having 1 mediocre person working a job that is competing against entire teams of top talent with huge budgets.
@106x oh its definately going to hit more people now. this is not a rumor. apparently first wave has just been done now.. there is a tsunami and more people will be affected once the restructure shows where people are redundant.
@wtf its not Mike. he is not the Marketeer
@std the way people got let go in APAC especially singapor is the worst way of letting go employees. no safety net, no healthcare no job seekers allowance, no package.. its fu---d up. HR not replying to emails and this from an org that only at connect praised itsself for its humanitarian projects.
@11qm our marketing is best in class. we support sales with the minimum of resources however since many in region teams have been cut down to one person doing the job in the field. show some respect!
Yeah. Independent vendor era has been long over. I'm sure TB tried to sell us to a larger firm, but nobody wanted us. And in the new AI era, the market believes SaaS is endangered (lol), and the multiples we could sell for are certainly we down.
New CEO will be telling on the direction. My 2c, I think we unfortunately go the direction of Cloud Software Group - reduce our expenses by the maximum, offshore, and milk the remaining customers dry.
Marketing is LOL. Sales misses targets. And don't even get me started on the CS/Support organization... lightyears behind peers.
@111y Independent vendor era died years ago. Qlik should have been acquired by a cloud vendor because analytics and data integration are consolidating with much larger players with established brands.
@10yb Shudders to think it will be a TB anointed CEO and they follow the Dynatrace playbook. Good luck to all employees. Its like the Generals firing foot soldiers and wonder why their tactics don't work.
Reminds me what happened when Talend was acquired as part of TB and then merged into Qlik. Lots of CEO changes.
Its a good thing we finally get a new CEO. Took way too long.
@106x he did not step down. He was let go. The are bringing in someone external and there will be a shakeup at the top level.
Who do we guess will be CEO next?
@z3w well it looks like the top dog is stepping down...perhaps its a sign of more things to come.
Who all was let go? I was let go a year ago but very curious if the same selfish people keep getting promoted..
This company is one good company in BI and their associative experience is the best in market- because of this clueless CEO Mike Capone - the way he sees the market - and how he reacts are worst - he is so reactive - thinking all the Power BI , Tableau will automatically elect Qlik once they understand how the he-l someone is going to understand if they dont market well ! This company is laying off not because of AI - it’s because they dont know why they can’t grow . Being 15+ years Qlik dev - this is so sad to see this company erode before your eye
Several from APJ region let go. It's a blunt force instrument when leadership have no other ideas they cut the staffing numbers
AI is the culprit. Tsunami is coming. Run for you lives.

@n7c Is the 6% Global?
@n7c I’m so devastated today. We lost some great people, I’ve been bawling all day
@OP ouch 6% got hit, sad place to be in this week, at least they got to go to sko.
@kw6, you were correct - so far 2 people are sending out notifications that they were let go,
@m5w you are right - Getting notifications that people are being let go -
@kw6 - no news internally? Where did you hear it?
Another round of layoffs announced today Feb 2 2026
Who left?
The damage is done... replacing the leadership can't change the course of this organization; the overall morale is at an all-time low.
