Pros

I have worked in this company for more than 7 years. This company had made a good Engine that has been a distinguishing point w.r.t its competitors. Now it has a In-Memory processing that is a differentiator. It is place for really good minds.

Cons

Regardless of Pros, this company has a lot more average or worse lazy minds. It is hard not to see the lack of training and lack of processes. What a team learns is very little from its past. Most of the management is rather disappointing and obscure.

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.

Pros

The core products do have a lot of potential.

Cons

(The Current Positive Reviews are FAKE... they "strongly encouraged" people to put up new reviews. ie: they had admins on 14 write fake ones) Toxic black mold is healthier than this place. Being flexible to change when it's best or necessary is one thing. Around here, things change because someone at the top arbitrarily decides. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or what the people who know about that area say. It's iron fist followed up with temper tantrums with screaming and swearing. We were all hopeful when the new CTO arrived, but that's made things worse. Tim seemed to have great ideas, but it quickly became obvious that he's not technical, has zero leadership skills, and is pretty much a nightmare all-around. He's a company-wide joke.
