Pros

Even with less than 3 years of experience, you can get a position here that immerses you in technology. Not exactly cutting-edge, but still fundamental technology.

Cons

Your job title means nothing. You do your job and the jobs of other people (watch out for product overlap where people will try to get you to do their job!!) There's a LOT of micromanaging that goes on in R&D, but it depends on your manager really. Most of this company is just developing and trying to fix legacy software - there's not a lot of active research going into making their products better using new technology. The company complains about their revolving-door turnover rate, but they don't pay their employees enough to stay competitive and they maintain archaic, inflexible policies (8-5 work day, no flex, no comp, lunch 12-1, no exceptions).

Pros

I work in the Hotel Systems Division My managers have all been great and I like the people I work with. I think upper management honestly appreciates my efforts. I feel that I am rewarded and recognized for the work that I do. MICROS has been good to me and I feel very fortunate to be able to work there. There are many opportunities for growth and advancement. This would be a great place for a recent college grad with some hotel or restaurant experience to start a career, or for anyone with industry experience and an interest in technology. For an entry level installer position, be prepared to travel nearly 100% of the time, which can be fun and is certainly interesting. I don't know what the recent acquisition of MICROS by Oracle will mean to the future of MICROS, but I'm excited about it. I would recommend MICROS to anyone who is deemed qualified to work there.

Cons

There were some conerns in the past about the lack of culture at MICROS. Some of this was fueled by comments from disgruntled employees. The culter is much better though, and it continues to improve. It seeems like the better you are, the harder they work you. This is espcially impactful to travelling employees. The better ones hit the road while the losers sit at home. They tend to not have enough employees for the work that needs to be done, so the existing staff has to work that much harder and I think in the end it's the customers who suffer.
