Pros

Great colleagues and lower level managers

Cons

1. Low pay and Benefits: The salary is below industry standards, and the benefits package is not competitive compared to similar companies. 2. Toxic Work Environment: The workplace culture felt toxic, with a lack of support and respect. Unrealistic project timelines added significant stress. 3. No Work-Life Balance: Employees are often expected to work late into the night regularly in the office, leading to burnout and affecting overall morale. 4. Frequent layoffs: Layoff every quarter—create a constant sense of instability and fear among employees. 5. Terrible Product Outlook: The direction of the BI/AI product and other newly developed product feels unclear, with little innovation or progress toward building a sustainable future for it. 6. Management Issues: Instances of disrespect from upper management regarding employees’ racial and religious identities have been disheartening and unprofessional.

Pros

The people were really great! Made a few lasting friendships. Mid management and above isn't really friendly though.

Cons

They don't care about your career. I was moved between departments, ended up temporarily in implementation on a dead project where nothing was happening and was let go because nothing was happening... (low utilization). They assigned me to things I explicitly told them I was not interested in doing at all, and it's not like there wasn't much else to do, quite the opposite.

Pros

Great pay. The job is really interesting, getting to work with lots cool technologies. There's lots of room for career growth, and seniors are pretty happy to help you improve. The people are fantastic. Free snacks every day, and free lunch once a week. Lots of events like happy hours and holiday parties.

Cons

MicroStrategy is in a weird place where it has more money than ever because of its Bitcoin investments, but it's core product is failing. Because of this, every quarter the place gets worse to work for. First they started doing layoffs every quarter, then they started mandating everyone come in 4 days a week. Now management has decided people aren't working hard enough, so employees have been told to work harder or they'll get fired. Stacked ranking was just introduced, so the bottom X percentage of the company will continuously get laid off. More negative rules will probably get added on as time goes on. The place used to be awesome to work for, but it now feels like a dying company trying to tighten it's belt to stay alive.
