Pros
Can’t think of any because this company is truly bad
Cons
Most of my colleagues are fired. Upper management have no understanding of our product and fires entire teams without hiring replacements. We now work until 1:00am in the office five days a week and they expect us to come in at 9:00am next morning… Oh did I mention, no PTO and we have to be online during holidays too? I’m now experiencing a lot of lower back pain because of sitting for long hours in the office. Because of this burnout culture, I can’t even get approval from my manager to go to see a doctor. I’m going to quit soon! Only wished I quit earlier.

Pros
MicroStrategy is an incredible company for high performers, with a strong position as a leader in BI and analytics and a pioneer in Bitcoin strategy. The company’s recent strategic shift has skyrocketed shareholder value, benefiting employees through the stock purchasing program and RSUs. MicroStrategy invests in employee development by offering programs to deepen understanding of Bitcoin, priming top employees to become ambassadors for the company’s evolving strategy. Despite this pivot, the company remains deeply committed to its BI product, supporting current customers, growing its presence with new logos, and investing in R&D to stay ahead in the market. As a Gartner leader participating in the Bake Off this year, MicroStrategy proves its dedication to being a top-tier player in the analytics space. - Strong position as both a BI and Bitcoin strategy leader. - Shareholder and employee value creation through stock programs and RSUs. - Educational programs that empower employees to lead the Bitcoin strategy. - Continued investment in the BI product and marketplace leadership. - Commitment to innovation through R&D and industry recognition as a Gartner leader.
Cons
While the company thrives on excellence, it is not for everyone. The intense focus on retaining only top performers and downsizing can make the culture feel high-pressure and competitive. Management, at times, feels removed from the experiences and opinions of field employees, which could create disconnects. Additionally, onboarding processes could be more robust to ease employees' steep learning curve when joining the company. - High-pressure environment that requires top-tier performance. - Management could improve engagement with field employees’ opinions. - Onboarding could be enhanced to reduce reliance on learning on the fly.
