    Incredible company to work

    May 29, 2023 - Marketing in Washington, DC

    Pros

    The leadership is top-notch, no doubt. They know their stuff and how to keep things running smoothly. They are super effective yet approachable, so I never feel like I am walking on eggshells interacting with them. The work environment is a breath of fresh air, no bs tolerated here. None of that pointless office drama or red tape to slow me down. It’s all about getting things done efficiently and being agile. They really embrace new ideas and are open to take risks. It is like being part of a team of go-getters who are all on the same wavelength. The benefits package is amazing. They really took care of their employees, offering great health insurance and perks. They understand the importance of having a life outside of work and encourage people to maintain that balance.

    Cons

    Sometimes they're too agile and lean that it feels like they don't give initiatives enough time to blossom into something amazing. Not always the best approach, I think. The people in my team have got this insane level of competitiveness that reminds me of those wild tech giants. Being surrounded by ambitious folks is motivating, but it also creates a certain atmosphere that's not for everyone. It's like being in a never-ending race and trying to outdo each other constantly.

    Company was doing fine until they got involved in bitcoin

    Pros

    -The people are great, coworkers are smart and motivated -Flexible work options like remote work were nice when introduced -That's it really

    Cons

    -Underpaid, they pay less than the market rate and have become very stingy when it comes to giving raises, pretty much only giving raises with promotions -Not enough resources, there has been a ton of attrition over the past few years and the people that leave are rarely replaced. Then they went ahead and laid off even more people to add to the attrition -No real career growth opportunities, most people start here and leave as soon as they realize how much you stagnate -Lack of leadership, senior management changes directions every other quarter and doesn't do a good job being transparent with everyone about why we were making these changes -Worst of all, the bitcoin investment. The former CEO decided to use company resources to gamble on bitcoin. Much like the redditors he seemed to be mimicking, the company is now severely at loss with this gamble. The information is public, the market knows how bad it is and can see the company's debts cant be repaid with sales being down. Before it was a profitable company with slow but continuous growth and a solid customer base with a good product. Now its a dead man walking until the debt the company took out to buy bitcoin comes due.

    MicroStrategy is truly a unique company.

    Jul 25, 2015 - Technology Employee in Tysons Corner

    CEO Approval

    Pros

    Microstrategy is working in two very hot industries (enterprise analytics and security). I am seeing lots of really great change in the company and that is paying off for company and employees. Company recently went from annual to quarterly bonus, as an example of more directly connecting contribution to employee benefit.

    Cons

    Sometime traffic can be a issue getting in and out of office around Christmas time, but have seen decrease in issues over last 6 months.
