Pros

Headquarters is close to Tyson's Mall. Worked with some great people over the years. Decent gym. Good benefits. Great annual holiday party. This company will drive you to drink and at least they haven't taken the open bar away... yet.

Cons

MicroStrategy was a good company that has slowly then very quickly become unfathomable to work for as it pertains to a sales culture. As I read through other entries it becomes obvious which are legitimate and which may have been "requested" by internal forces. It upsets me a great deal that I agree with most of what the negative entries say as I did enjoy a decent amount of time at MicroStrategy. It's nothing short of tragic what has become of what was by most accounts an industry leader in BI. There are companies with bad executive management. There are companies with terrible executive management. Then there's MicroStrategy. There is one single person that makes every decision at this company. He's the judge, jury and executioner. To then provide the illusion of power to anyone else MicroStrategy has cut the front line and filled up the executive floor. You can't throw a rock on the 14th floor at headquarters without it hitting 7 different VPs of some obscure process. If by some miracle you don't hit a VP you'll hit a contracted worker there hired to do these recorded "cadence calls" ensuring that the sales team acts as directed. Between the executive management, the complete and utter disgrace that is a marketing department (I still don't know what they do there besides prep for the GMAT or Facebook) and the always changing comp plan I can't in good conscious recommend this company to anyone seeking employment. Years ago this was a fun, growing tech company and therein lies the tragedy.

Pros

Market leading technology unmatched enterprise analytics (including self service data discovery) and mobility. Excellent sales culture and compensation is truly uncapped. Love the leadership direction and vision.

Cons

Marketing is nonexistent and leaves market opportunity. Inferior products out market us. Cadence is understandable however sales meetings should be more collaborative and less didactic.

Pros

There are still some brilliant people left at the company. The foundation of the product is still strong but they need to listen to their customers.

Cons

MJS is single handedly destroying the fabric of the company and the strength of the product. Many parts of the organization are in shambles because MJS thinks he knows how to do every managers and every individuals job. Hundreds of well respected and brilliant people have left the company due to his mismanagement. The institutional investors and Wall Street need to wake up and look at the facts.
