BMC Software reviews

All sicknesses of huge organization, too many redandent processes, too many meetings and worst of all too many RIFs!!! people were fired because they were located at the wrong region.

Not the same company I joined 4 years ago. Things changed just over 2 years ago with a hostile takeover attempt by a majority shareholder (Elliott) and BMC swallowed a "poison pill." This hurt long term sales. A year later they went private and promised to invest in their products. This also hurt long term sales. Most of the talented people left at this time. The new owners are all "vulture capitalist" firms. They've done massive RIFs every 6 months since. While laying people off, the owners took out a $900 million loan and paid themselves bonuses for a "job well done." Their products got pushed out the door with fatal defects that took several months to resolve. They no longer innovate. Their products have been stale for years and their competitors are catching up or passing them. I went from feeling like a valuable asset to the company with some of the best managers in my career (they all left) to having a horrible manager and feeling like an expendable number at the end. Annual salary increases are non-existent. Would not recommend this company to anyone.
