MBA courses are oriented towards the needs of large corporations. Thus large tech companies do value MBAs, it becomes a case of being competent in two areas instead of just one. That would lead to more opportunities for promotions into the management tiers. In startups and small companies, an MBA might be useful, but probably won't lead to better job opportunities. One of the less mentioned benefits of an MBA is the network that you establish during the course. That could lead to job opportunities that you would otherwise not discover. To become a high level executive doesn't require an MBA, it requires a track record of increasing profits and making sales. Being a good micro-manager simply means that you stay stuck at the middle management levels.
