Avantages

- Saylor is a visionary and has led the company into new, profitable, exciting ventures long before the competition. This creates buzz and excitement throughout the company, as many people are truly inspired by his "all or nothing" mentality - consulting projects can be very challenging and rewarding for personal growth - middle management is largely supportive of consultants and eager to help when and where they can (unfortunately they are not given a lot of power or authority)

Inconvénients

- pay and benefits are uncompetitive (as everyone else will tell you) - turnover among field employees is very high, as realization of how the business is managed sets in - division leadership is disconnected from workforce - leadership comes from outside and often does not have any experience with the product - consultants are often on islands (little or no contact with other consultants, management, or operations) - non-HQ employees do not get any fringe benefits - climbing the ladder is nearly impossible (many long-term employees have jumped to and from the company in order to move up) - company does not care about high attrition, as they believe all employees can be replaced

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
