      Merit/Salary Freeze will be lifted when more global warming melts the ice

      Senior software consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people for the most part

      Cons

      During the recent all hands meeting the #1 question asked was "when do we expect to have the the merit Increasesalary freeze lifted?". The answer - "when the market demands it!" In other words, regardless of how much productivity and revenue are being realized even after all the downsizing; BMC will lift the freeze only when it's been determined that we're loosing employees to the competition due to compensation issues. What kind of short sidedness is this? Why not stay ahead of the curve instead of waiting for good people to leave. Very, very telling in my opinion.

      Paid Well to Go Down with a Sinking Ship

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You are paid better than most other in the industry

      Cons

      Leadership high ups have no idea how to run a company ESPECIALLY the CEO. At this point I’m convinced it’s self sabotage because they actively choose to make the worst decisions quarter after quarter, FY after FY. They’ll also make sure you know how replaceable you are come March/April every year without hesitation no matter how well you perform.
