Pros

good and market established product line, (loosing its reputation gradually) If you hate changes, then you u'll end up doing the same stuff even after 10yrs good learning and on job experience in buttering upper management incompetent management, no one will catch you for technical goof ups. live exposure to high end politics good implementation of "bring you friends to work" office location. local languages are preferred over English

Cons

Political competence is directly proportional to your stay at BMC. Cost saving center of US,It is the only thing managers are up for. No salary hikes No promotions Hard work, competency, creativity will not be the points you will be judged upon. Pathetic IT infrastructure, no test labs. Incompetent people at higher positions Show off is this the only thing you should be good at Hard working employees are treated as slaves No growth in terms of opportunities, compensation. HR department only exists on papers. Policy implementation uneven for all departments Workload distribution uneven for all departments Biased management decision followed by baseless explanations Unfriendly work environment. Small bonuses are given with hell lots of explanations as if you never deserve them. False promises to retain the workforce. Desk availability is more valuable then the work you deliver. Feed-backs are only a formality.

Pros

People were very friendly. Very understanding of balancing life/work.

Cons

True talent wasn't always recognized. The "old team" always won out regardless if your ideas/methods/operation was at least recognizable as an alternative.

Pros

Pay package and medical benefits are decent. Beautiful campus - Many places to hide especially when you are in stress caused by ineffective and inappropriate team dynamics (especially when you are running from your business unit and your Manager).

Cons

Politics, Politics, Politics - They groom you to be a back stabber at the end of the day. Management is caught up with just making money, they hardly recognize the real people that got the job done. Instead all promotions and laurels go to the wrong idiots.
