First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Qlik.
Demand Specialist
I really enjoyed interviewing with Qlik. I had initially applied for an SDR role, but the recruiter, Patrick, thought I'd be a better fit for a Demand Specialist position. Since I'm a recent grad with limited sales experience, it was great that Patrick saw this and suggested a more suitable role. The Demand Specialist role felt more aligned with my background. My first chat with Patrick (the recruiter) was awesome; he really got my CV and where I am career-wise. Then, I had my final interview with the Director of the demand center and an Operations analyst. I prepped a lot for this, and I felt it went pretty well. They explained the Demand Specialist job clearly, and I got to ask tons of questions to understand it better. They also got to know me better through questions about my background, what drives me, my knowledge of the company, and general info about me. Overall, I had a really good time with the interview process.

Software Engineer
I interviewed for a frontend-heavy software engineer position. The interview process was really smooth and the interviewers were super friendly and polite. They conducted the interviews in a relaxed way which helped me feel less pressure and do better. The questions were mostly easy to medium, focusing on JS fundamentals, React concepts, and machine coding. The whole thing had 4 rounds: the first was a chat with the team manager with some basic questions, and the next three were all technical, diving deep into JS core concepts, DSA, and React coding problems. I managed to pass all rounds and got an offer. The HR team was great, giving feedback and staying in touch from the first call all the way to the joining date. It was a really wonderful experience overall.

Field CTO
The whole thing was super clear, like, they told me exactly what to expect with the process, the schedule, and the structure, and the chats were honest too. Right after I applied, the recruiter got in touch, explained each step perfectly, and I could always hit her up by phone or even text. She sorted out any questions or worries I had super fast. Every interview was planned out and I knew ahead of time who I'd be talking to, what we'd cover, and how long it'd take. The talks were professional and chill. What really got me was how fast it all was - from the first contact to the final word took just a few days. Basically, a top-notch interview experience, super quick, with great communication and they really focused on me as a candidate. I felt appreciated, ready, and supported the whole time.

- Why are you interested in our company and how do you imagine contributing here?
Data Analyst
So I had my first interview with Qlik, which was an HR call, and then things moved really fast. I had my second round with the hiring manager just two days later. After that, it was radio silence for about three weeks. Then, out of nowhere, I got an email to schedule my third round for the very next day. I felt like I really gave it my all in that one, and it seemed to go super well. The interviewer even said they'd give great feedback and that I'd definitely hear back soon. I waited and followed up a bunch over the next month. Then, one day, my application status just changed to 'closed' with no explanation or rejection email. It's a bummer when you put time and effort into the process and then get left hanging, especially after such positive feedback. A little communication really makes a difference.
- Did you have any behavioral questions?
- What about the technical third round?
