Pros

The office provides a full kitchen, stocked drinks to get you through the day, SOME managers/Directors are flexible, others are not. Office is very big & clean. (It used to be bigger!) You can have a very different experience depending on the department you are working for. Comparable benefits to others in the city.

Cons

The company has gone through several changes from the top down & I've seen the company slim down since it's privatization. Once destined to be a high place to work has become just a stepping stone to the next big thing. Some managers offer flexibility while others do not. Being in the Software industry, you'd imagine there being more room for flexibility and remote work, however, this is not the case. Also, very hard to promote from within. Compensation could be better.

Excellent corporate culture and team environment

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.
