Pros

Excellent benefits. Flexible work options.

Cons

Global company with teams around the world. Difficult to balance work and home life. People are laid off quietly, and no announcements are made.

Pros

BMC has a terrific product vision. The market share is growing. It provides great opportunities for exposure to cutting edge technologies, and sales and marketing growth potential.

Cons

As with most high tech companies, people are a disposable asset. Hiring in the US is virtually nill for technical positions. Maintaining minimal staffs to strengthen margins is looked at as "Industry Standard" practice. They strive to be the industry leader in technology, advocate above industry standard behavior from employees, but deliberately hold themselves to mediocrity in Human Resource management standards. As such, you can't say they are better or worse than the rest of the High Tech industry.
