Pros

BMC generally pays well and provides lots of flexibility, good equipment, good benefits, and profit sharing. You can often work remotely or work from home. There are still some great people working there.

Cons

The profit sharing process is not managed well and is time consuming (making you do artificial things that don't contribute to the bottom line). There are layoffs almost every spring. The stress level is high, and they often don't staff projects properly. Many of the good people have left or have been laid off.

Pros

Reasonable pay, interesting work. They provide snacks galore and all the soda you can drink. And if you happen to like right-wing newspapers, you get lots of free ones too, though that is not really a pro if you are not a right-winger type.

Cons

Top management is out of touch with all reality, continuing to pat themselves on their backs while blaming the grunts for all the problems which in reality are that senior management do not know what they are doing. When they see a problem with the way things are going they double down rather than fixing the problem.
