      OK Company - unclear future

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BMC is Ethical company that puts an emphasis on doing things above board. BMC offers a good work/life balance and respects the fact that its employees have lives outside of work. The people at BMC are friendly and helpful

      Cons

      Unclear strategic vision Not enough focus on driving results Too slow to execute Mired in the past Not agile enough Difficult to get things done in the company Fragmented silos No marketing leadership or vision - chasing PR over substance Too tops down focused - not enough initiative at the grass roots levels

      Hard to be hired, but easy to be fired

      Financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Little travel, headquarters based in Houston, technology industry

      Cons

      Arbitrary career advancement, little investment in people, lack of caring about career paths/promotion readiness. The company does not invest in a basic understanding of the company among its people (half the financial analysts could not tell you exactly what their company sells). In fact, people are often told that learning what the company does is something that they should do on their own time. Career advancement is based rather blatantly on kissing up to the boss, and as a result, Sr Finance leadership has little experience of best practices outside the company or knowledge of how to run a Finance organization inside the company. Each individual is technically qualified but the lack of leadership means that each individual operates as an island.

      Not your father's BMC

      Lead product developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work hours. Decent benefits. Pay is ok, but won't be for long. As a software developer, it is great to be creating what the company actually sells. Freedom to see your ideas go from design to development.

      Cons

      Death march development projects can be stressful and depressing. Fear of layoffs is constant and no guarantees that a coworker that quits or retires will be replaced, resulting in more work for you. CEO compensation (greed) makes you sick. No feeling of loyalty anymore.
