Pros

Nice localization in center of Warsaw and very close to metro station.

If you are a person who wants to develop, extend knowledge and skills -- avoid this place. You would be bring down to role of 'code typing machine'. During interview I was informed about technology stack I am going to use. At my first day I found out it is going to be completely different, but that's minor case. No senior, experienced developer support. No decision making locally, everything depends on few ppl in HQ, even something fiddling like buying coffee. Quarterly bonus is a joke -- looks like HQ isn't aware of software developer market in Warsaw. You got promoted for work seniority - not for skills, knowledge etc (it is very common to promote 6 months experienced developer rather than one with almost 2 years experience, only because the first one works for micro for longer period but on different -- non-developer -- occupation. HQ claims, teams have no contribution in project only because whole work/code was developed in Warsaw. Micro does not pay attention to clean code, good practices, up to date technologies. Testing is a word that is unknown at HQ, and those who want to implement are neglected. TDD, DDD, SOLID -- no one heard about it

Our Center in Warsaw is a relatively new, growing, and important part of where we are going as a business. The experience you describe here is not consistent with the expectations we have for our technology team in Warsaw. As we come to the end of the first year of our experience having Technology teams in our Warsaw center, we do have many lessons learned in how to form our core teams, how to coordinate the work done in Warsaw with our teams in Tysons Corner (HQ) and China, and putting great responsibility on our Warsaw team as we continue to grow our Tech presence there. In recent months, we have increased our focus on hiring testing and QA resources and will continue that focus for the foreseeable future. We have made changes in how we are managing our Warsaw Technology team and the connectivity our team has with the rest of our employee base in Warsaw that heavily focuses on Technical Support and Consulting as well as our HQ technology teams. Our broader technology team is about to rollout our latest platform release which features the strongest code and product enhancements in the history of the company - and represents a collective effort between HQ, Warsaw, and China product teams. We are an organization constantly learning and improving. From what I have read, your experience with us is not what we would have hoped for anyone. We will continue to work on making MicroStrategy the best employer for software engineers, testers, consultants, and all of the other professionals that call MicroStrategy their place of work around the world.

Pros

You will learn ALOT here and if you can stomach the culture you can get promoted quickly or move teams with little friction. Above market rate benefits that start Day 1 Generally speaking good camaraderie amongst the worker ranks I’ve held multiple roles and have appreciated the opportunities to travel internationally which was life changing The product has a little bit of a learning curve but it genuinely is something special once it’s up and running I felt that towards the end of my tenure my pay was exemplary although I really had to earn it

Wowwwww where to begin… Well it’s a top down organisation but also a market laggard. Given our position relative to our competitors this regime of leadership is responsible for missing the moment in Cloud, BI and AI. Middle management and upper management alike don’t have a clue and it’s definitely a soap opera of leadership and empire or cult building. Not a great feeling of purpose when everything you do internally as well as with customers is overshadowed by Bitcoin. Dwindling customer base. We’re really only making money by replacing ironically technologies older than us (Cognos,BOBJ) or moving existing customers to our managed cloud The community is totally dead especially internationally. Minimal on the ground experts at strategy and a very loose and underfunded partner program Product conceptually is great but struggles to differentiate from hyperscalers and modern cloud data platforms on value. Leadership can definitely get a little preachy touting merits or metrics that are pretty vain in the big picture Specifically in the last 3 years gaslighting has been the norm for management. Everything here feels performative and doing your best to do your work without upstaging or upsetting your manager. The RSU distribution definitely feels like serfdom. The employees at the bottom get a single digit or if you’re a heretic you get double digit number of RSUs, but it definitely does not seem fair that the benefits of the Bitcoin strategy rolled to the top, at least when the asset is up
