Pros

I have a feeling that if you work in one of the company's two main offices, located in Texas or India, the meeting times may be more manageable.

Cons

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.

Pros

Casual office atmosphere which is good. The managers aren't all over your back all the time. They leave you alone as long as you're doing your job. Good benefits.

Cons

Some of the online training is not very useful. They also tend to sugar coat things to the employees when things aren't going well.

Pros

If you have a good manager, your job can be a dream. You will reap the rewards or at least be given an explanation as to why you can't be. Flex schedule, free snacks, casual dress code, garage parking, 2 gyms, 3 cafeterias, dry cleaner, company store, salon, beautiful campus. All the comforts of home right here!

Cons

All of the comforts of home are here because they work you unGodly hours and you NEED these perks to get by! Middle management tends to have overblown egos. My way or the highway attitude. Layoffs seem to be the only way the company knows how to shave off the overhead. Employee morale is in the toilet and managers think nothing of offering you the door if you dare to challenge their POV.
