Pluspunten

The best BI platform in the market.

Minpunten

- In Europe, oftentimes Professional Services Directors meet their consultants in person just once a year. Very difficult even to spoke on the phone. - Management keep pushing for consultants to procure additional work at the Customer's instead of Sales people. - Quarterly reviews are fake. I happened to be asked to approve my quarterly review without even discussing it with my manager. - Consultants abandoned at the Customer's from PSD and Sales, except when there is a new contract to be signed. - Very limited and insufficient training. Pre-sales are provided with regular training, Professional Services are not, since the have to be 100 percent billable. I happened to be asked by Customers to implement a feature I didn't even know to exist, since they could participate to MicroStrategy events and I could not. - A lot of money wasted in having consultants fly from country A to country B without considering local consultants who could to the job. - inexistent meritocracy: if your manager doesn't like you, you will never get anything even if your Customers express in writing their appreciation for your work. - Oftentimes, Services decision left in the hands of Sales who can't distinguish a fact from an attribute.

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

Minpunten

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
