Pros

Good benefits, was a good company at one time

Cons

Not good at integrating products acquired through acquistion. Not good at setting realistic expectations of the retained employees from acquired companies. I had conflict with my manager about how one treats one's subordinates

Pros

- Large company, situated well to ride out bumps in the global economy - High level of vocal community support for the Remedy product line - Good at integrating acquired companies into larger solutions

Cons

- Big company with lots of internal process overhead - not very nimble - Tends to be driven by what competitors do or large customers demand vs. innovative - Most employees tend to just do what is in their job description without going above and beyond

Pros

Decent enough technology (although still v dependent on mainframe revenues). CEO knows what he is doing (although his part in the BladeLogic fiasco will stain his reputation).

Cons

Have been at BMC 5 years, first 4 some of the best years of my career. In those years great team spirit, good management and a culture that encouraged innoivatgion and success very well rewarded. The BladeLogic acquisition and the reverse take over of the sales team has however killed everything that used to be good about BMC. Be clear - these people do not know how to manage customers, staff or sales cycles. They are cowboys of the worst type who will screw anybody over in their pursuit of a dollar.
