The Donald Trump of tech.

Pros

If you like Donald Trump, this is the place for you. His style is what BMC execs would consider nuanced and sophisticated.

Cons

Most of the executive team appears to have graduated from Donald Trump university. There's a reason why this company is dying.

Pros

BMC has (had) great and talented people. The company allows you much freedom to work where you want. It pays well and has good benefits.

Cons

BMC does not instill any loyalty into its employees. It is constantly doing layoffs and re-orgs. It is a very political organization and it can be hard to get things done quickly. They is way too much CYA going on at BMC. Also, they have lost a lot of great people either in layoffs or through attrition as the employees don't trust the company and its direction.

Circling the drain; work here at your own risk.

Pros

- Compensation plan largely good - They still offer good benefits - if you don't like current management, wait and they'll be replaced

Cons

- the only unit where they're competent managers is mainframe/Control-M; the other units are whip-sawed by yearly management changes that have led to vicious (and probably fatal) exodus of talented staff. - sales-obsessed culture run by mediocre sales people -- the departure floodgates are so severe, they are actually offering "retention bonuses" to sales people, thus incentivizing exactly the wrong talent to stay - very much a "work harder" (not work smarter) culture - Agile response here means in about 2 years.
