Pros

It's almost hard to remember how nice it was working for BMC. Financially speaking, there haven't been raises in 10+ years, GICP is based on things that the employee cannot control and insurance for the employee used to be paid at 100% with better quality insurance companies were the norm . Feel-good wise, the company used to pay for internet, used to give gifts at the holidays. I'm sure there were other things but it's been so long, I've forgotten; but the good feeling is gone.

Cons

It feels like a sweatshop. The company has let go so many employees and so many long timers have moved on. There are very few of us left and those that are here are so focused on CYA that one should not be surprised to be thrown under the bus if something happens. Jobs have been outsourced and those of us remaining are expected to train them. Management at my level are afraid to make decisions and react so slowly to customer problems that I'm surprised BMC hasn't been fired.

Pros

BMC has a culture of solid teamwork and caring for employees, in addition to the intellectual challenge offered by the start up atmosphere. The company is well established, but offers employees an opportunity to dig deeply into their roles and learn as much as possible by doing more than just what is in the job description. In the corporate groups, everyone has an opportunity to make an impact and feel appreciated for their work. Additional project work is always available for people who volunteer to learn new skills. The result is a group of employees with much longer than average tenure in their jobs.

Cons

The positive enviornment means that there is not much turnover in some areas of the business, so advancement opportunities can require creativity or moving to a new team.
