Pros

The people. I stayed as long as I did because I really liked my co-workers. Micros was a great 'starter' company for me personally. I joined in the summer of 2006 and worked as a member of the Helpdesk during my tenure with the company. Despite the miserable working conditions, the abusive treatment from the senior managers during that time, and the awful morale, I stayed because it was an opportunity for me to develop skills that would help me in the future. I have a lot of fond memories of my co-workers, and us suffering through miserable working conditions, making the best of it, people that were all trying to get their start in the tech industry. Micros didn't provide any sort of education or training - you had to learn from others working there, or on your own. Some may list this as a 'Con' but for me, it was a positive. I learn best when being 'thrown into the fire' so having to reserve engineer problems, stage databases and environments, that was all positive learning for me.

Cons

Management had a complete lack of trust in the staff. There was zero insight into how the company was performing or how each organization was performing, no company meetings to discuss roadmaps, zero internal learning/educational opportunities (aside from the first day where you sat through an overview of the company). Employees never felt a sense of ownership or responsibility because leadership never provided as much. No bonuses. No recognition for hard work or going above and beyond. No company sponsored events. No rewards.

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.
