Ventajas
The people - MicroStrategy used to have a very rigorous hiring process, but in the last few years they've been struggling to hire and retain the best and the brightest. Some organizations within the company are more open in communication - I've worked in technology, sales and professional services organizations in MicroStrategy and like Professional Services the best.
Desventajas
Management does not care about employees - the benefits are well below average, no espp, stock options, bad health care plan. Technology organization is the worst managed in the entire company - the senior management thinks of technology as a cost center and fails to reward even the top performers. Moving out of Technology to other divisions within the organization is very tough and can take anywhere between 9 to 15 months after a formal request, by this time either the person who made the request has lost interest in moving and the opening in the other organization is filled.
