Pros

Great training programs, really friendly, talented, caring, and smart people, good work-life balance, fair amount of mentoring, good exposure to large company/projects/clients within the industry, great opportunities to gain experience. BMC gave me a lot of opportunities and I will always feel grateful to the company for that. I learned A LOT and was able to move up in my career quite a bit while there.

Cons

I spent more than a decade with the company and the last few years saw a rapid decline in benefits, increases in lay-offs of great talent, and obvious signs of favoritism - if you knew the right people, despite your skills, you didn't get laid off. If you weren't friendly with the right people, despite your years of work and experience, you were let go. I was not laid off, moved on to another company. Low raises. It became an uncomfortable place with so many lay offs. Much more communication needed company-wide, between departments, and within divisions.

Pros

One of the best things about working here is the culture — it genuinely feels like family. Leadership doesn't just talk about caring for employees; they live it. Servant leadership truly cascades from the top down, and you can feel it in everyday interactions. Leaders are engaged, approachable, and make every employee feel valued and heard. Beyond the people, the culture itself is beyond pleasant — it's the kind of environment where you actually look forward to coming to work. Add in the flexibility of working from home and a solid benefits package, and this is a workplace that truly invests in its people.

Cons

The work can be fast-paced at times, the high standards here keep things moving, which is a good thing but can occasionally feel like a lot. And when you genuinely love what you do, it can be hard to disconnect at the end of the day. Honestly, those are the only cons I can come up with.
