Employees at BMC Software appreciate the plenty of opportunities to learn and good work/life balance offered by the company. They also value the benefits such as paid health insurance, snacks, work from home options, and opportunities to travel for work. The excellent working environment and friendly atmosphere are highlighted, along with very good salary and benefits. BMC provides several trainings and has an emphasis on innovation and new technology.
However, some potential challenges are noted, such as a perceived US corporate culture of doing more with less resources, and questions around the relevance of mainframe software licensing in the SaaS world. There are concerns about job security, with a perception that employees can be made redundant abruptly. Having managers located globally can present difficulties. High sales targets are expected, particularly in sales roles, with a view that senior managers get large bonuses for work done by others. Some BMC products have steep learning curves, and employees need to adapt to frequent changes in product portfolios or management. Additionally, there is feedback that the company may be too focused on selling software rather than delivering solutions.
