      An intellectually stimulating place

      Pros

      You are in the company of smart people doing interesting work. You will get better as a professional. There is a lot of scope for changing within the company to work for the department you really like to be in. The company takes good care of rewarding the really top people. The poor performers generally get the idea and leave. It is a young crowd and a fun place to work with a college-like atmosphere. The management is also a pretty cool lot. Fairfax is a very nice place to live as well.

      Cons

      Salary is OK, not that great. Working on a customer facing role can get very stressful after a while.

      Negotiate ahead of times for active accounts or you will go nowhere

      Pros

      Great technology, recognized as a pioneer in the BI industry

      Cons

      Short-sited management. Good old boy network, hard for new hires to get started, all preferences and opportunities given to those who have been there for long time. Unless you are replacing someone or experience immediate attrition, all active accounts will stay with older reps.

      You can be very successful if you work hard and can articulate how our software can meet business requirements.

      Pros

      Compensation is pretty god when you blow out your numbers. The middle to senior management of the company is very good. There is a lot of loyalty amongst the folks who have been with the company for a long time. I think Microstrategy is a place where you either make it right away and stay for a long time or you don't fit in and leave very quickly.

      Cons

      No ESPP, not stock options or long term equity. Saylor is very controlling of most of the operations in the company and seems to change his mind at random.
