Pros

very few friendly people free parking

Cons

For the past two years, my manage has micro-managed and abused his team. The whole team two years ago has left because nobody could stand his ignorance and abuse. As the leader of web team, he is biased on specific person. People who work hard never got promoted. Promise given never got fulfilled. Instead, person who finish the least work got promoted because he has a better connection with manager. As a result, five people who was treated unfairly has left the company for the two years. MicroStrategy should reconsider its major value because what's most important to a company is its people not just the managers. Treat people leaving with dignity instead of saying ill behind back! Cut down the numbers of VPs, hire more people who will do the real work instead of people who would only flatter managers.

MicroStrategy Response

Our company success is completely dependent on our ability to create a workplace environment where people feel supported, respected, and empowered to do great things. If anyone feels that "abuse" is occurring in any way, we have our internal employee relations line for confidential escalation of an issue as well as our HR team that can provide support and will take action. That being said, as I have mentioned in other posts, we are actively working to improve the general capability of our leaders, managers, and people so that we can create a better MicroStrategy of tomorrow to build on the strengths of our company today. It is never great to hear of bad experiences or issues that one may have run into with a manager - and the background and perceptions that you have had and reported here cannot be undone. My goal is that the experience you feel you had at our company is not replicated in the future.
