Pros

If you are located in California compensation is relatively good because of the competition to find talented people. If your home country is India, Mexico, China or Ukraine then there is lots of growth opportunity available for you. BMC loves to invest in these countries because they pay lower wages - the flip side is constant turnover as individuals leave for better paying jobs. Numerous people work from home. Termination package is very generous.

Cons

It used to be an annual March/April reorg (hint hint firing), now it is also happening October/November. Several years back BMC was bought out to rebuild itself out of the public eye, investors are now keen on getting their ROI hence the twice annual reorgs. Sales and SEs are flying out the door for better opportunities. Competitors are chomping at BMC customer base. Products are buggy with only recent intention (CEO mandate) to fix them, not uncommon to have defects opened for years.

Pros

Competitive salary, flexibility to work remote, and benefits.

Cons

Due to the hierarchical structure, the decision making process in general was painfully slow therefore did not feel empowered as an employee. Lots of operational inefficiencies between the cross functional teams. Promotions to manager position without leadership training results in bad people managers. Career growth opportunities are limited. Frequent layoffs and budget cuts go hand in hand adding to the operational inefficiencies across the board.
