Pros

Used to be pretty good. Tech Support department was insulated from the huge layoffs and reorgs in 2014. Nobody gives you crap for leaving on time at the end of the day. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

New senior management decided to reorg Tech Support for the heck of it, breaking up functional product-oriented teams with good chemistry and reassigning everyone randomly according to regional business units. Completely nonsensical. Non-technical people were put in charge of this process and have no idea what they are doing, so now they are shooting first and asking questions later. To add insult to injury the new management has also decided not to pay out quarterly bonuses as agreed upon previously (and to be completely incommunicado as to why or what's going on). Employees were informed that the changes were due to Michael Saylor's desire to make every department responsible for their own profitability. How does that make any sense for Tech Support?

THE WALKING DEAD

Pros

Get an expensive education and life lesson – what not to do, where not to work and what to look for in your next job.

Cons

MicroStrategy is truly the black hole where innovation, excitement, ideas, hope and love for your job goes to die. It’s a company that is run with an iron fist by an egoistic leader who leads by intimidation and encourages top down management by other leaders who have been put in that position not because of their leadership style – but because they will follow what he says. MicroStrategy is the new walking dead – it’s a place where the CEO believes that his biggest asset is his software and not his people; it’s a place where you are absolutely worthless – just an empty shell peddling his software; it’s a place where the core software has seen no innovation in the past few years; it’s a place where there is no fun, no culture, low camaraderie and no growth; it’s a place where you WILL get scammed out of your commission/bonus someway, somehow, sometime; it’s a place that you really don’t want to be. If you love your family, and want to work in a place that respects you as a human being – stay away.

Pros

None. A company even begin to allow harassment for more than one year! Cannot to use any words to curse.

Cons

Which kind of CEO will lead to which kind of employee. A CEO abandoned himself to pleasures made the company full of womanizers!! Taking photo under female's skirt! Talking with nasty language in front of females! That's what a company is!!
