Pros

People in low-mid positions are smart, and those still left in there work hard. Free, well-equipped gym. Conveniently located...?

Cons

Upper management, starting with the CEO and trickling down. It's like a child at his birthday party: everybody has to do as he says or he throws a tantrum, no matter how irrational the requests might be. The company is being derailed by Usher, which is an example of a "brilliant idea" being taken too far.

Pros

Used to be a good place to work for work/life balance, the gym is nice and the location next to Tysons Corner is great.

Cons

Everything. If you've gotten this far in the reviews, I'm sure you've seen the countless scathing reviews on how Michael Saylor is systematically destroying this company, there are too many VPs who don't do anything and how everything that was once good about this company is quickly going up in flames. Well, it's true. MicroTragedy is the most toxic, uninspired sinking ship I've ever worked for. The technology is outdated, the people are all cookie-cutter yes men and any and all innovation and creativity that once was left in that place has been gone for months now. Everyone who is still there is looking for a way out, the pay is below average across the board and coming here is a great way to end your career. Don't waste your time here, I really wish I hadn't.

Funny, that no one talks about the incompetent CTO

Pros

Used to be a good product. Current projected GA is not even close to a finished product. Looks like baselines are being adjusted just to qualify.

Cons

CTO - 0 vision. Not sure how he even got the post. Absolutely no idea about BI and Analytics. Pretty much brown nosed his way to the top and induced a toxic culture of agree or leave. The company has been on a downward spiral ever since he took over. Look at the historical numbers. Recently hired a couple of SVP's to cover his deficiencies. Created silos just to save his position.
