MicroStrategy Software Engineer in McLean, VA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Different types of technologies to work with.

Cons

Too many people, working on same thing.
Age gap of 5-6 years between senior and junior due to IT stock market crash in 2002
Promotions are difficult.
The company has been recruiting only since last 2-3 years creating a batch of people with same chances of promotion.
Everybody at higher levels are managers, they have reached the limit on how high they can be promoted.
Senior level not supportive enough due to work pressures on them.
Machines are very slow, and office is old.

Advice to Senior Management

Should hire good computer science graduates for software engineering. Not hiring computer science graduates for software engineer position leads to incorrect software practices in the software which leads to problems in the codes in future.
OOPs and design patterns should be a required skill set for an SE.
