Interviewed Oct 2011 in Lexington, MA (took 1+ week)
Overall, it was great.
I was hired in by a manager I worked with in a previous company so my experience is not the typical. So for me, networking paid off!
Most companies of this size perform drug tests and such so I expected that. BMC is very process oriented. The people here are more "IBM" than let's say "Zynga" from a culture standpoint. The Lexington office is a little dated so the "curb appeal" won't sell you on the job. IT locked down and a little "dated" in their thinking. They block applications like Dropbox, Sharefile, YouSendIt and other SaaS apps. Their VPN is dated but recently started to support the iPhone. One thing I will say is the work/life balance is good. BMC promotes working from home so that eases the pain of a longer commute. Again... this will depend on your boss.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Yes BUT BMC is a hard negotiator. They will walk away if you push too hard so really know and understand your "net worth" to BMC when going through this process. In my case, I stated what I want up front and they exceeded it.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
HR person contacted me directly. Everything was quick and well thought-through. It really looks like they interview tons of people a day and have an industrial interview process. They consisted mostly of algorithms and data structures questions, and a few questions about projects I had mentioned on my resume. The first interviewer was very friendly and positive, and I felt the interviews went very well, having answered all the questions correctly.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Houston, TX (took 3 days)
I applied online and the HR emailed asking a time for a phone interview. Basic questions on resume, goals, etc in the HR interview. She mentioned that she would set up a next round phone interview with a manager in the group at the end of the phone interview. But never did!

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
Intern position
About 4 rounds of interview : HR, Tech guy, Mangers.
All behavior questions about projects you did. Not a technical question at all(at least not a specific tech question like algorithm questions)
The company is not a typical software company but more like a sales company--- selling their softwares rather than developing up-to-date one. Tell them more about the functionality of your project more than the technical part.
The interview process is smooth and I think they need more people.
But I do not feel good since I want to be a tech guy but there seems less tech in this company. They do not have their platform but just borrowing from others.
I think it is good for intern but not full-time in that growth in tech would be less.
