Is this your company?

People were great, process and management not so much. Too much of "we always did it this way" - Technical Consultant MICROS Systems Employee Review

Pros

Micros hires from the industry. Which is great. I met some of the closest friends I have there.

Cons

Management and business process is severely lacking. There are way too many Silos to get things done there. And way too many people spend time CYA than on doing the actual work. Micros doesn't pay for what the industry stipulates people should make. Case in point - I got promoted to a senior level position. The position called for X amount in salary. I was making Y. X was 40% more than what I was making. I asked HR why I only got a 3% increase. And they said that they don't increase people that way. I said that the Senior position calls for this range here (stated on the intranet at the time - they've since taken it down) and she said that I will need to quite and get rehired at that rate in order to make it. I asked - but I am doing the same work - she says, that's the way we do it here.

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.
