Pros
Decent pay and what some might call good "experience" for some entry level roles. Interesting ideas for new products (though poorly executed, I'll get to that in a minute)
Cons
I wanted to give more stars for the extremely talented middle managers and co workers who bring incredible experience and ideas to the table. In the right environment they would be successful, but the upper management at the highest level really has no idea how to nurture innovation with processes that make sense in today's technology industry. How can the company compete when the CEO has bi-weekly or weekly reviews that create panic and sap every resource to satisfy his needs, which are not the market's needs? The best people cannot succeed in this environment. The current climate is kind of like the pre-Baratheon Realm in GoT. The CEO is the Mad King - if someone truly challenges him and the way he runs the company, he disposes of them. The people that remain around him are yes men who are afraid to do things the right way for the very real threat of getting ousted. Unless one of the new product lines succeeds despite the CEO hampering true innovative and productive work and draining morale, his reign will crumble like the Targaryen's did, and the Baratheons and Starks of the market (Tableau, Qlik, etc.) will take over. Also this analogy makes MSTR seem better than it is - it never really was king of the BI market. And never will be as long as Saylor is there.
