Pros

- People were good co-workers. No bro-grammers - Depending on the team, good work life balance. Many strict 9-5ers who have young children. - In building gym with quality free fitness classes (they turn off the AC after 6 p.m. so don't work out late in the summer!) - Fantastic new lounge

Cons

- No investment in software engineers to keep their skills current. - Management is a mess - Salaries are kept low for everybody because the software engineers who rely on the company to eventually get a green card (of which there are many) are incredibly underpaid for their experience level. Bad raises.

MicroStrategy Response

Thanks for the review. I want to note that we currently have an opening for a Training resource in our Technology department. The role of that resource is to focus on the ongoing development of our Tech employees as I would agree, we have traditionally not done enough to keep skills current and help people progress in their careers. This year, we are seeing some change even without that position. Our Tech team is just wrapping up a month that has featured three "Technology Kick Off Events" and as we bring on more resources to focus on talent development in technology, I expect our career and manager development programs will significantly improve.
