Inconvénients
MicroStrategy continues to perform their annual practice of laying off employees with zero advanced notice and a laughable severance package. The CFO starts the year off bragging about how the company has grown by nearly 800 employees and that the financial outlook of the company is so strong that they took advantage of their high performance to buyback some of the companies stock. Not even a month later layoffs begin happening across the company. Including departments that backfilled positions or were even given permission to grow in order to perform better as the company grew. If you look at the history of many of the employees at MicroStrategy you will notice gaps of tenure, former employees returning to the company after being denied a promotion to only be given it after returning, and favorite employees being placed in positions that they are wholly unqualified for. MicroStrategy is a company who spends more time taking care of its executive floor and making sure that their whims are taken care of over ensuring that the business is healthy, profitable, and that its' "most important asset, you, the employee" are being addressed. The executive team all have their yes-men that they listen to while ignoring anyone else who might be bringing up information that needs to be shared but doesn't want to be heard. Seeing the history of this company in the press, the direction the industry is moving, and the way this company carries itself in how it conducts business; I would strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for future employment and that current employees keep their resumes well polished and nearby because you never know when you will get that ominous meeting invite in your mailbox.
