Pros

Some of the people working there are nice and smart, but... read below... It was a pleasure to work there few years ago (before the "restructuring"). Because of the benefits and some people I met there.

Cons

Some of the people working there are nice and smart, but they are in minority since all really fine folks left the company already. 2 years ago 20% of the worldwide staff has been laid off and next 20% voluntary terminated. There is a huge gap at the leadership and management levels and those new people who came after the "restructuring" are just not competent. Some of them have very poor professional background. Let's be honest: no one (really talented) wants to come to a company with the overall rating 2,7... A lot of them are interested only to stay at the company for the "managers" salaries since they worked before in some much smaller companies holding much lower positions (so for them it's a huge promotion). They are not interested in any enhancements, they want only to feel "managers". My last boss used to say to the customer (in the official email communication: I'm the manager of...). And the rude language and absolutely not acceptable behaviors was a daily routine... An advice for all, who considering to get a job there: don't do it. You deserve much better.

Pros

Microstrategy is working in two very hot industries (enterprise analytics and security). I am seeing lots of really great change in the company and that is paying off for company and employees. Company recently went from annual to quarterly bonus, as an example of more directly connecting contribution to employee benefit.

Cons

Sometime traffic can be a issue getting in and out of office around Christmas time, but have seen decrease in issues over last 6 months.
