Pros

BMC Software sells some exceptional products, and can address a lot of pain inside of IT operations. The Cloud Lifecycle Management tools are exceptiona, and at least 18 months ahead of the competition.

Cons

Sometimes you see people that should not be doing the jobs that they are in. They are either unqualified, or incompetent, yet they stay and nobody is forcing them to leave. They also do not take many risks, but risk is inherent in innovation.

Pros

Dynamic R&D environment where high performers are recognized with bonus compensation not seen in other companies this size and stability. Aggressive current growth with good probability of continued growth. Conglomerate like structure has cash cow products which are successfully funding more innovating new products.

Cons

Still dealing with incorporating a division of acquisitions into a coherent system. Suffers from legacy managerial structure as well as painful legacy systems, in great contrast to the innovation in its leading products. Has definite problems deciding on priorities between quality and stability and greenfield growth. Note that experiences reported by people will vary greatly by the location and group they are in. Some areas of BMC are stagnant and political, others aggressively technocratic.
