Pros

I speak more to the Compuware portion of BMC, which was recently acquired by BMC and through which most employees operated out of Detroit. I enjoyed the working culture and everyone I talked to was smart. It's a solid company to work for with very understanding managers, especially if you have a passion for low-level assembly code or hardware systems built on this.

Cons

There could be some improvements on communication between some of upper management and lower management. One instance in specific sticks out to me where large firings occurred to clear house and the company meeting we were told everything is looking great,, profits are up, etc., which felt a bit like a slap in the face to anyone who knew that 3 or 4 teams had just been gutted completely. On the other hand, I understand that if the same labor can be found cheaper, then economically makes sense to pursue that track. For this reason, I cannot justify lowering my rating more than 1 star because at its core it was a prudent business decision (although there are valid criticisms otherwise.. mainly that product expertise has been lost as a trade for lower salaries). In any event, this is definitely something to consider. While generally stable, these things can (and have) happened.
