MicroStrategy reviews about "pay"

MicroStrategy is in a weird place where it has more money than ever because of its Bitcoin investments, but it's core product is failing. Because of this, every quarter the place gets worse to work for. First they started doing layoffs every quarter, then they started mandating everyone come in 4 days a week. Now management has decided people aren't working hard enough, so employees have been told to work harder or they'll get fired. Stacked ranking was just introduced, so the bottom X percentage of the company will continuously get laid off. More negative rules will probably get added on as time goes on. The place used to be awesome to work for, but it now feels like a dying company trying to tighten it's belt to stay alive.

1. Low pay and Benefits: The salary is below industry standards, and the benefits package is not competitive compared to similar companies. 2. Toxic Work Environment: The workplace culture felt toxic, with a lack of support and respect. Unrealistic project timelines added significant stress. 3. No Work-Life Balance: Employees are often expected to work late into the night regularly in the office, leading to burnout and affecting overall morale. 4. Frequent layoffs: Layoff every quarter—create a constant sense of instability and fear among employees. 5. Terrible Product Outlook: The direction of the BI/AI product and other newly developed product feels unclear, with little innovation or progress toward building a sustainable future for it. 6. Management Issues: Instances of disrespect from upper management regarding employees’ racial and religious identities have been disheartening and unprofessional.

Management is extremely disconnected with the employees.

Mismanagement Do not trust managers .. you can be laid off for no reason with 2 weeks severance pay after 12 plus years

Not focusing on software anymore. It's more about bitcoin strategy.

Too many hours, always burnt out, Lots of layoffs, jobs moving overseas.

-constant layoffs and outsourcing to other countries -Mandatory 50 hour workdays with no pay increase -HR “shocked” that people aren’t excited to work 10 hours a day for below market pay

Any pros that may have existed with this company have disappeared. It is no longer even really a tech company, it is a bitcoin ETF that uses their BI business as collateral to obtain loans to buy more bitcoin. The BI business has taken a backseat, so engineers won't be working on anything particularly interesting here. The new CEO seems to be an empty suit with an MBA with no vision for innovation, and only knows how to cut costs to improve the balance sheet. He has also mandated coming into the office 4 days a week, which should make MicroStrategy an automatic disqualifier for any talented engineers looking for work in 2024. The bonuses and pay raises have essentially halted, and the workload has increased significantly per employee due to the massive layoffs that occurred earlier in the fall. I would be surprised if this company exists in 5 years.
