Pros

Generally a good work/life balance. The yearly bonus is nice if you are rated well The stock has done well during the recession

Cons

Cheap company. No salary adjustments in 2009. No surprise if none in 2010. Very difficult to get equipment needed to do the job. Despite the name BMC Software, the company is sales focused rather than software. Too many small bought up units in distributed locations which makes it very difficult to act as a single company. Inadequate technical leadership. Lack of innovation and product creation. Too many co-workers with sub par skills. Many product requirements but no funding to accomplish assigned tasks in the time desired.
