Training, very active company. If you like change, this is you place!

Countries managed like silos. Very few opportunities to be transferred to other countries.

Good company, scattered professional services

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

MSTR has the best 'Boot Camp' training for all new hires that I've ever seen. MSTR has a great BI product-line. Decent salary and good benefits, though no stock ownership path.

Cons

Professional Services has little regard for (ornowledge of ?) the geography of their consultants. Too much long distance commuting. Management seems to manage quarter to quarter without much long range planning or vision.

Good place to jump-start your career

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Casual, young and flexible environment. The location is ideal and the opportunity to learn and jump-start your career is there. The building itself is new and there is a really nice gym with free classes available. The company has a name that carries weight in the software and BI industry, so it looks good on the resume.

Cons

Salaries and vertical movement definitely has a limit. Moving up isn't easy and, in certain areas, doesn't seem to have an existing pathway at all. Don't expect to get paid on the higher end of the scale in your field. The company is large, but is still growing... so the growing pains are relatively obvious in that organization and attention to employee needs is still lacking.
