Pros

There is always a challenge, the work is almost never boring. You can get some great career expierience because of the business. If you like to travel then you will absolutely get your fill. The workforce is extremely diverse. Working closely with customers gets you away from the ultra-strict company culture at MICROS. Comp time is awarded when you work on weekends for a customer.

Cons

Compensation for employees who have worked there for less than 10 years is absolutely pitiful. They set the low end of the range for every position in the industry. Performance expectations are extremely high for how little you are paid. Work loads force employees to work at least 55 hours a week in order to be successful. This all leads to extremely high turnover which erodes the knowledge base, thus causing the majority of major projects to fail. The only way to get noticed or ahead in the company is to not have a life outside of work, multiple 60+ hour weeks are not even noticed by management.

Pros

I work in the Hotel Systems Division My managers have all been great and I like the people I work with. I think upper management honestly appreciates my efforts. I feel that I am rewarded and recognized for the work that I do. MICROS has been good to me and I feel very fortunate to be able to work there. There are many opportunities for growth and advancement. This would be a great place for a recent college grad with some hotel or restaurant experience to start a career, or for anyone with industry experience and an interest in technology. For an entry level installer position, be prepared to travel nearly 100% of the time, which can be fun and is certainly interesting. I don't know what the recent acquisition of MICROS by Oracle will mean to the future of MICROS, but I'm excited about it. I would recommend MICROS to anyone who is deemed qualified to work there.

Cons

There were some conerns in the past about the lack of culture at MICROS. Some of this was fueled by comments from disgruntled employees. The culter is much better though, and it continues to improve. It seeems like the better you are, the harder they work you. This is espcially impactful to travelling employees. The better ones hit the road while the losers sit at home. They tend to not have enough employees for the work that needs to be done, so the existing staff has to work that much harder and I think in the end it's the customers who suffer.
