Pros

You are lazy and don't want to contribute anything meaningful to the world and you work at BMC then you can coast forever.

Cons

This company once had a great vision to build products for IT. But over the past 5-7 years has lost all its direction. Every year there is a new class of executives that come in and graduate. They make money and leave the company worse than how they inherited it. All big acquisitions have been marginalised. No innovation; Just continued lipstick on the pig. Employees are treated unfairly when it comes to roles, responsibilities, compensation. Even post-privatization, the focus is on rebranding and not reinventing. Business has been on a decline for over 10-15 years. Executives are paid for a soft landing and not for delivering new products etc. No modern technologies in use. You spend more time working across time zones. Most projects are split across 3+ time zones that will take a huge toll on productivity and work-life balance. You are better off working somewhere else.
