BMC Software reviews

Most IT/HR is outsourced and therefore horrible. Too many untalented people in key positions. Web site is old fashioned. Planning process is old fashioned with fixed content and hard deadlines that are regularly missed. Weird org structure with docs centralised and too many people in India. Key products don't work as well as people think.

I'd heard about blame-storming, but I had never experienced it before being hired at BMC. If you know how to function in that kind of environment, go for it. I would also tell any new hire at BMC to talk to a trusted HR person to help them keep track of all the information that would be necessary to form a case for why your being fired is inappropriate. I would say set aside a good hour per day to devote to your note takings -- your management is doing this so should you be. After working there, I had several recruiters comment that BMC has a habit of calling meetings that you must attend. The example given was a meeting notice that went out at about 5pm on the day a person was leaving for vacation, for a mandatory 6-7pm meeting. It was presented as a pervasive corporate habit.
