Pros

The sad thing is that honestly the only positive things that can be said about this place are the gym and the leftover executive food that random floors get a few days a week.

Cons

Everything. This place has learned nothing from the mistakes it has made over the last 10yrs. Systems and internal processes are completely broken, training for new hires is nonexistent, and the lack of communication is mind boggling. I would imagine that workers in North Korea are treated better than employees at microstrategy. The newest of a revolving door of executives cares more about moving employees into different roles than actually resolving the existing problems. These people will take advantage of you, get what they can out of you, and then probably outsource your job. I would be shocked if any of the new executive members hired in the last 6 months are even here in another 2 years. This place is run like a 27 yr old startup.

Pros

A lot of smart people from all over the world. Very diverse company who does not discriminate on your race, religion, and sexual orientations. (notice I did not say women). Great technology, and very nimble company.

Cons

The company's CEO creates a culture of nickel and dime'ing its employees. The senior management is very able when the CEO is not engaged, but they do very little to guide Mr. Saylor anywhere when he is engaged. The senior management staff are in for themselves. They seem to just sit the backseat while Mr. Saylor wrack his own company.

Pros

Great enterprise product! At least 12 months ago and when finally the overdue next release comes out it should help catch up to other BI vendors who have stormed ahead improving their Analytics while MSTR derailed into a new Security focused path last year

Cons

Not much to add to other posts - way too many excellent experienced people in all areas forced out or fed up and left. Since CEO took an interest in day-to-day activities there are one after the other CEO/Exec operations decisions that put up roadblocks for hard working teams to achieve success. Add to that a new 2015 Comp plan that helps the CEO find every nuance possible to NOT PAY the sales force....
