Pros

During the bubble years, MSTR was great at giving responsibility to young people and supporting them as they figured things out. Education and training were exceptions - a 6 week technical bootcamp - that I was allowed to take as a Marketing Manager! Morale during the bubble was also great.

Cons

After the restatement and the techn bubble crash, senior management hunkered down and forgot to communicate with employees. The mission got muddled and to company lost its way for a while. Luckily, thoughout, there has been an extreme focus on ensuring the quality of the technology.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer more transparency to employees and the community at large. Take credit for great technology, but treat your customers with more respect.
