Pros

Great pay. The job is really interesting, getting to work with lots cool technologies. There's lots of room for career growth, and seniors are pretty happy to help you improve. The people are fantastic. Free snacks every day, and free lunch once a week. Lots of events like happy hours and holiday parties.

Cons

MicroStrategy is in a weird place where it has more money than ever because of its Bitcoin investments, but it's core product is failing. Because of this, every quarter the place gets worse to work for. First they started doing layoffs every quarter, then they started mandating everyone come in 4 days a week. Now management has decided people aren't working hard enough, so employees have been told to work harder or they'll get fired. Stacked ranking was just introduced, so the bottom X percentage of the company will continuously get laid off. More negative rules will probably get added on as time goes on. The place used to be awesome to work for, but it now feels like a dying company trying to tighten it's belt to stay alive.
