Pros

-Interesting work -Employee growth possible -Chance to work with many different technologies, great for resume building -General respect from a powerless lower/middle management that knows the score but I think would like to do well by employees if they could -Ample parking -Great coworkers who on average seem to be above average when it comes to intelligence and capability and whom I honestly believe would like nothing better than to work hard and provide as good a product as possible -Plenty of opportunity to change teams and/or move up with so many people quitting the last year or two

Cons

-No raises last year -Salaried employees are expected to work above and beyond without overtime or comp time (and I believe hourly employees are not being allowed to work past their 40 hours but I'm not certain) -All indicators show that senior management doesn't seem to care or even notice the mass exodus and resulting brain drain of employees over the last year or two. -Management is constantly walking around trying to catch people not working -No stock options for most people under manager level -No flex time, so if you're an engineer or other to whom flex time is a common thing in many workplaces think again. -Very much a CYA culture so don't be surprised to get thrown under the bus a good deal -Employee morale is terrible. I've never seen new hires become so cynical so fast.

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.
