Pros

Covered parking, work life balance, easy access to the mall, onsite gym, employee lounge, extremely smart people, beautiful building, good benefits.

Cons

MicroStrategy has the potential to be a fantastic company, but executive leadership is ruining it for everyone. They love to over hire (with no real budget in mind) and then let people go once they realize that they have over spent. The CEO is a nut job who would rather party on his yacht than run his company the proper way. Some of the smartest people in the industry work at MicroStrategy, which is the real reason this company is even still standing. Executive leadership could destroy it all if they don't start to realize that their employees are important and should be valued and appreciated.
