Pros

Work hours are somewhat flexible along with opportunity to work from home. Lots of talented co-workers. Performance based bonus pay.

Cons

Since buyout there have been rounds of layoffs. There is a huge talent vacuum happening as developers either jump ship to other organizations or get laid off. Compensation is slightly below market average, and now that the company is private there is no stock option.

Pros

Good facilities, average benefits, Great Offshore teams. Senior management pretty effective at solving product issues. Very good focus on customers during pursuit phase, Indian business and technical management are second to none.

Cons

Middle Management too reactive, Mixed bag of consultant quality and people skills, Services ( PMO, Portfolio managers, "Global" delivery managers...) unprepared and forced to play "hot potato" trying to bury rework costs and impact of fixing poorly tested software.

Pros

Generally speaking, BMC has a lot of smart people, motivated to do the right things for the company and for its customers. It is easy to ask for and receive help. Good benefits and work environment allows for appropriate work/life balance most of the time.

Cons

Pace of change and adaptability are challenges. Recent company struggles have resulted in a lot of change, but unclear it will put the company back on the right trajectory.
