Pros

Friendly colleagues, onsite perks at headquarters location, work life balance

Cons

Having to live in Houston. Unethical business practices and shady deal structuring in the sales organization. Seasoned, experienced employees treated like they are children who have to ask permission for almost everything. Egotistical, abrasive, selfish and discriminatory management team. Entrenched Good 'ole white boy company - if you are minority or female or over 45 you will be treated very poorly eventually and possibly forced out - even with years of competent, faithful service. Worst company I have ever worked for and I am embarrassed to even include it on my resume.

Pros

Good technology and great customer base; excellent reputation in the marketplace. Good work environment and depending on your manager you can make things happen.

Cons

Culture is very reactive, whipsaw. Head of sales seems to not like BMC employees, preferring those from Blade or PTC. Very conservatively run organization with Finance having a large impact on that, very difficult to book orders. Back office is a mess.
