Funny, that no one talks about the incompetent CTO

Pros

Used to be a good product. Current projected GA is not even close to a finished product. Looks like baselines are being adjusted just to qualify.

Cons

CTO - 0 vision. Not sure how he even got the post. Absolutely no idea about BI and Analytics. Pretty much brown nosed his way to the top and induced a toxic culture of agree or leave. The company has been on a downward spiral ever since he took over. Look at the historical numbers. Recently hired a couple of SVP's to cover his deficiencies. Created silos just to save his position.

Pros

The sad thing is that honestly the only positive things that can be said about this place are the gym and the leftover executive food that random floors get a few days a week.

Cons

Everything. This place has learned nothing from the mistakes it has made over the last 10yrs. Systems and internal processes are completely broken, training for new hires is nonexistent, and the lack of communication is mind boggling. I would imagine that workers in North Korea are treated better than employees at microstrategy. The newest of a revolving door of executives cares more about moving employees into different roles than actually resolving the existing problems. These people will take advantage of you, get what they can out of you, and then probably outsource your job. I would be shocked if any of the new executive members hired in the last 6 months are even here in another 2 years. This place is run like a 27 yr old startup.

Pros

A lot of smart people from all over the world. Very diverse company who does not discriminate on your race, religion, and sexual orientations. (notice I did not say women). Great technology, and very nimble company.

Cons

The company's CEO creates a culture of nickel and dime'ing its employees. The senior management is very able when the CEO is not engaged, but they do very little to guide Mr. Saylor anywhere when he is engaged. The senior management staff are in for themselves. They seem to just sit the backseat while Mr. Saylor wrack his own company.
