Working at BMC Software in Houston, TX: 26 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Houston, TX Area

"The management has questionable knowledge of what they are responsible for which results in bad decisions and inconsistent messages being sent to the employees."

"Fast pace company. Lots of changes."

"It was a great company to work for with a lot of flexibility and some of the most intelligent people I've ever worked with."

"I worked with BMC Software since 2009. Great company, great culture."

"It's a good company, lots of things to learn. But people on top do politics, sometimes you don't get credit for your work, it's not that work is not appreciated, work has been appreciated but someone else stole the credit, and management knows that, still they don't do anything."

"BMC is a great company to work for. Unfortunately they are rebuilding. I was a part of the restructured end that got laid off to keep the company profitable."

"Worst mangers and worst leadership. They do not think of their employees. Low pay/ low bonus. Tons of work. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. No motivation at work. You work like a slave. Your achievements are never given any importance."

"Loved my co- workers. They are a motivated, professional bunch. Unfortunately, at least in my group, the VP was a bully who changed his mind from one day/week to the next and then blamed his managers and employees for not "getting it right". Seriously, this guy did this constantly. I think he knew exactly what he was doing, but he felt like keeping everyone in fear would somehow keep them on their toes and more productive. The SLT team have enabled him to torment 100+ people for 7+ years."

"I've worked for BMC for almost a year. The company is in a period of transformation by growing private. Hopefully, it will produce better quality software going forward."
