Pros
There used to be a lot of potential. Good gym. Free Coffee.
Cons
Let's start with the CEO and work down. He is not only an arrogant person and horrible to deal with - but he surrounds himself with a bunch of "yes-men" [and 22 year old women] to convince him that he's brilliant and doing the right thing. The last 4 years have been full of failed endeavors that have nothing to do with our core business. We have probably spent several hundred million dollars on projects that haven't made a dime. Not to mention anyone put on those "products" was immediately promoted (read: costing more money) and then subsequently fired (when 20% of the company got laid off this year). The only stakeholder in any project is the CEO and that's not a way to create enterprise-grade software - You spend your entire day thinking about how to please "Mike" for your next demo when you know all he is going to do is bark for an hour in an aimless, mindless rant. He has no idea what he is doing right now. So - If you're in the business of having 0 talent, constantly sucking up, name dropping, taking credit for others work, and having a personal chef make all your lunches - then the executive team at MSTR is right for you! By the way - when the chef then brings the extra "scraps" from lunch down to the commoners it's just another sick metaphor for how this place is run.
