Pros

work for an industry leader work with great people who come from a hospitality background overtime flows like water decent benefits free soda

Cons

you are overloaded with projects to the point of people not caring and doing their job. People who DO do their job are just given more work and the people who aren't do not get reprimanded at all. Most management is now remote so it is hard to enforce anything constant promises of better frontiers on the horizon but this is rarely seen. You will just get more responsibilities with an empty promise that it will come. There have been no raises in years. the only bump is an artificial one as Oracle gives out differentials based on when you work in the day and week. Performance reviews only act as a pat on the back Management is flaky. Not there for you when you need them, but you have to drop everything you're doing when they need something. The buyout from Oracle was nothing short of a mess. Support is a revolving door because of the nature of the job but instead of hiring more people locally, more are staffed in the Philippines that do subpar work. There is nothing wrong with that if the people are trained properly, but they arent. you are fighting an uphill battle with techs overseas that are being told to do things to boost numbers so there is always a clash. This burden gets passed down to the customer. the customer relationship was completely destroyed when the local offices were closed and they stopped staffing people locally. They are merely seen as a dollar sign at this point. The only way a customer can get anywhere is to either go to social media or escalate to the executive level. This is not acceptable and it's hard to not agree with the customers who are at wit's end and threatening to pull out. All of these things add up to a lot of uncertainty and low morale in the workplace.

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.
