Great entry-level job, but not for mid- to senior positions
Pros
- great place to get your career started in BI - great paid vacation days compared to other companies, especially when you're an 8-yrs tenure - opportunities to transfer vertically or offices abroad
Cons
- promotion among departments is inconsistent to say the least. You see people who aren't up to their titles across organization. Promotion isn't based on performance but by quota and tenure, e.g. Even though there're qualified employee s for promotion, if it maxes out the #of promotion Saylor agrees, superstar performers have to wait. - limited upward career opportunities. From senior management to CXO don't care about their subordinates career development. Recently HR developed online manager courses, but senior managers don't take it seriously. - uncompetitive pays and benefit. This is the main reason many talented people left the company as soon as they got Green Card. - Senior management treat non-US employees as slave. They know that non-US employees can't leave without sponsorship, so they take advantage for their pay. They try no efforts to retain talented employees. - The company is run solely by Saylor. When he thinks of a new idea, it WILL be implemented no matter how it makes business sense. We have many non-revenue generating free apps which they spent so much money and which have nothing to do with BI. No direction as a company. - instead of purchasing a private jet or get CXO office suites custom-designed, get a portion back to hard-working employees such as profit share or stock options.
