There are fractures in the turnaround plan.

Pros

Good benefits. Able to work from home. Lots of good hard working people. Great place to be if you want to do the same job for many years. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Loosing customers right and left. SNOW is taking many long term Remedy customers each month. BMC still talking about how to put customer first, but not actually doing it. Most SaaS customers are on Force.com platform, which is not there own platform. Turnaround taking much longer than needed or expected. Slow to make decisions. Sales reps have not been paid commission in almost 6 months due to inability to figure out how to pay people. So draws have been given. This can only have a negative impact on sales moral and performance. There was good momentum coming out of sales kick off in Las Vegas this year but that has fallen flat. Management seems to be trying to hard to put a positive message on performance when all the workers know the truth about what is really going on.

Pros

Great technology, benefits, and pay is market value. Have a good install base and receive a large revenue stream from that. Made very good acquisitions over the years buying best of breed technology. Market leader in certain sectors.

Cons

The strategy is where there is no direction, growth is flat, and talent level has dissipated as roles aren't clearly defined and management is on a turntable as they are attempting to do more with less. Privately held after long stint as a public company aka the beginning of the end, the ship is slowly sinking. Wouldn't be shocked if a larger more nimble company bought the pieces eventually. Tons of complacent workers happy collecting a check. New customers are hard to obtain and lots of customers leaving.
