MicroStrategy

Higjly do not recommend working there even for a short time. Culture is toxic and the management team members(beginning with the CEO all the way down to the Director level managers are the finest  backstabbers ever with no conscience. One minute you're a super achiever, then the next, you are the worst performer ever according to your manager and their manager. Low to mo sharing of information from direct management team to the team members. You can't trust the management team's word or written word. Departments don't work well with other peer groups. The management team of long tim emploeesat MicroStrategy need to go out and get a job at a real company--the only problem is that they'd never survive for any length of time in a real professional business environment!

Working at MSTR, I had hope, would be a job perfect for my skills and allow me to move forward with my dream of working in Japan. I was a contract to hire that when the time came to make me a permanent employee, the organization had changed their requirements to the point that I was no longer qualified to do the job - though they wanted me to remain for an undetermined period of time until they could find a replacement for me.
My manager was a decent man, but rarely ever around and there was limited guidance or effective training. I was told "You need to do more" without any form of direction or indication of how I was supposed to further support my sales team abroad. It was frustrating and though my team were a bunch of really great, driven people - it was not a role great nor a great company for a fresh out of college graduate looking for direction and understanding the corporate world.

Like any other consulting company, if there's no work in your region, you're required to travel.  MicroStrategy, in my opinoin, has the best Business Intelligence product and the focus has returned to where it should've been a couple of years ago.  The people working there are very professional, easy going, and you never feel micromanaged or that you have a boss.  You are trusted to do your part, contribute and play your role.  If you don't then typically what you expect happens as in any company.  

The best part about consulting is the variety of clients and work you get.  You're always learning and growing.  The money isn't bad either and there is opportunity to grow with the company. 
 
I really don't have anything negative to say about the company.  If they keep on the path, I think they will see a lot of growth, profit and opportunity.

Great technology albeit more complex to operate than some of the popular BI competition.  The software also has more to offer than many competitors which requires greater complexity and collaboration between IT and the business units to take full advantage.  The company has gone through some serious fits and starts in the last 5-7 years with many of those being self inflicted by a CEO who does not take the advice off his management team and jumps at new opportunities so quickly that the core business often suffers from MBO whiplash.  Culture used to be quite good and participative, but many lay-offs and constant priority shifting has created an internally-competitive and protectionist culture.

Nothing happens in the office before 9am. People are all telecommuting, I would get in at 7:30 and not see a dozen people before 9:30. I learned to rein in my opinions about what could be improved. Their technology was built in-house, and was awful to use, not in the mainstream. Lack of clear communication throughout the company. Coworkers were really great people, camaraderie was fantastic. It was a pleasure going in to work every day. Getting your job done, and having to not make excuses based on the tools provided was the hardest part. 

If you get offered a job at MicroStrategy, take it.

Its a good place to work, the work life balance is good mgmt is understanding about working from home taking days off taking extended planned vacations.company is could use more staffing as a result more is required of current employees, which includes more work but allows for greater learning opportunities. No one has ever left the company saying they didnt learn a great deal or have difficulty finding a new and usually much better job. Senior leadership can be quick to change without letting everyone know so direction of company can sometimes be unknown to employees.

Dont join this company.
"BIG NO"
Management is very poor.
They dont have value of their employees.
Anytime you will get fired.
You can not ask anything to any management level person, if you do so you will get fired.
They dont accept any feedback.
They have their own monopoly.
Partiality, favouritism is very big problem here.
If you are in good books of manager then you will get all benefits.
No matter how much you work for them, if you are not in good books you will get fired.

Top down dictatorship.  Don't expect to bring new ideas or work in a collaborative environment.  If you like to plan before you act then avoid this place at all cost especially when working with cross functional teams.

Do you enjoy a balanced work/life - won't find that here!!!

For the most part the engineers are all really great people, can't think of one "jerk" on a team,   good people.

I was responsible for daily delivery of inter office mail as well as shipping and receiving via USPS FedEx Ups and other Parcel companies.Conference room set up and providing copies and other request by employees. I was also responsible for building and set up of office space as well as the general upkeep of the inside and outside of the building

Several layoffs have occurred in several years that lead to most employees looking for new employment daily.  The layoffs are immediate, which leads to increased loss of work productivity due to fear.  The CEO seems disengaged from the every day workforce of his employees.  The management does not communicate effectively to employees, and most of management rides on their egos and pride too much.
