BMC Software reviews

I'd heard about blame-storming, but I had never experienced it before being hired at BMC. If you know how to function in that kind of environment, go for it. I would also tell any new hire at BMC to talk to a trusted HR person to help them keep track of all the information that would be necessary to form a case for why your being fired is inappropriate. I would say set aside a good hour per day to devote to your note takings -- your management is doing this so should you be. After working there, I had several recruiters comment that BMC has a habit of calling meetings that you must attend. The example given was a meeting notice that went out at about 5pm on the day a person was leaving for vacation, for a mandatory 6-7pm meeting. It was presented as a pervasive corporate habit.

Benefits and pay continue to decline while the management style is now one of fear. Not a good way to retain top employees, which is why they're all leaving and going to CA and HP (who are actually experiencing sales growth). Don't let the skewed Wallstreet numbers fool you. The mainframe business continues to shield the company from the real numbers.
