Nothing , this is the worst company i resigned in 11 months

Inconvénients

Every company has some basic hierarchy and respect boundaries — engineers, support staff, and then office staff. But in MicroStrategy, office-level people are treated like Level 1, and engineers are treated like a mistake. This place runs on pure politics. Someone whose job is literally to manage snacks and basic office tasks is treated like a god, and software engineers are called “wrong hires” and “rich spoiled kids.” Customer support and office staff with basic job backgrounds are getting stock worth 50+ lakhs, while engineers who actually build things get treated like garbage. Favouritism is everywhere. Upper management is basically one group speaking the same language, from the same place, and the environment is extremely toxic. We joined as 8 software engineers and 3 QA. Today only 2 people are left. Everyone else resigned. The company wastes skilled people and then blames them. Directors and VPs with 25+ years of “experience” — not in tech, just in talking — openly said “rotten oranges left.” They hire based on language, personal connections, and ex-employees. I’ve never seen a VP insult his own mother in a meeting to make a point and then compare engineers to her. That tells you a lot about the mentality. This same VP keeps bragging about having 50 crores, a farmhouse, and 20 pets. Nobody cares. What he doesn’t have is basic respect or maturity. All 11 of us were working nights, giving everything. And still, in every call — USA, Poland, China — they were told by this VP that the Indian team is “not working” and is a “liability.” When I resigned, I genuinely felt like the happiest person on the planet. Final Note: You can earn 5 lakhs less somewhere else and still be far happier. Mental health is everything. Join this place only if you truly have no other option.

Avantages

You will learn ALOT here and if you can stomach the culture you can get promoted quickly or move teams with little friction. Above market rate benefits that start Day 1 Generally speaking good camaraderie amongst the worker ranks I’ve held multiple roles and have appreciated the opportunities to travel internationally which was life changing The product has a little bit of a learning curve but it genuinely is something special once it’s up and running I felt that towards the end of my tenure my pay was exemplary although I really had to earn it

Inconvénients

Wowwwww where to begin… Well it’s a top down organisation but also a market laggard. Given our position relative to our competitors this regime of leadership is responsible for missing the moment in Cloud, BI and AI. Middle management and upper management alike don’t have a clue and it’s definitely a soap opera of leadership and empire or cult building. Not a great feeling of purpose when everything you do internally as well as with customers is overshadowed by Bitcoin. Dwindling customer base. We’re really only making money by replacing ironically technologies older than us (Cognos,BOBJ) or moving existing customers to our managed cloud The community is totally dead especially internationally. Minimal on the ground experts at strategy and a very loose and underfunded partner program Product conceptually is great but struggles to differentiate from hyperscalers and modern cloud data platforms on value. Leadership can definitely get a little preachy touting merits or metrics that are pretty vain in the big picture Specifically in the last 3 years gaslighting has been the norm for management. Everything here feels performative and doing your best to do your work without upstaging or upsetting your manager. The RSU distribution definitely feels like serfdom. The employees at the bottom get a single digit or if you’re a heretic you get double digit number of RSUs, but it definitely does not seem fair that the benefits of the Bitcoin strategy rolled to the top, at least when the asset is up
