Cons
The company does not care about its employees. The corona virus crisis highlighted this more than ever. When every other tech company in the area and the country was encouraging their employees to telework, MicroStrategy kept insisting everyone should be in the office unless they have an "extreme emergency". None of their emails ever stressed that the company was concerned about their workforce, they only mentioned how important the customers are. Furthermore, the CEO's personal email to the company was one of the most unempathetic things I've ever read. He spoke about the crisis in terms of statistics, saying that we shouldn't worry because there are much worse diseases out there. The icing on the cake: he essentially wrote "some people will die but they're old so its okay, we really need to worry about the economy". It really shows how disconnected he is from normal working people. My advice? If you end up here get what experience you can in the first two years then go elsewhere that actually thinks of its workforce like people and not numbers to their bottom line
