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.

Kontras

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.

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

Kontras

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
