Advice to Senior Management

Have frequent skip levels and try to understand what employees are thinking.
Implement 360 degree

Pros

Small enough and big enough. Small enough to provide opportunities most couldn't dream of in a large Corp, big enough so that multiple roles and trajectories are possible

Cons

Will work you to death if you let them. 80 pct of work done by 20 pct of the people

Advice to Senior Management

Share your vision. It is likely some of us can help you get there if we know where you are going.

Pros

BMC Software sells some exceptional products, and can address a lot of pain inside of IT operations. The Cloud Lifecycle Management tools are exceptiona, and at least 18 months ahead of the competition.

Cons

Sometimes you see people that should not be doing the jobs that they are in. They are either unqualified, or incompetent, yet they stay and nobody is forcing them to leave. They also do not take many risks, but risk is inherent in innovation.

Advice to Senior Management

Be a bit more focused on the product and the customer, not necessarily the stock price. If the development org is not able to write stable and functional code, then you should consider drastic changes in that area to shake things up.

Pros

Great job security as long as you keep your head down and do your work and wait for bonus to get paid without expecting any job advancement.

Cons

No place to advance one's career.

Advice to Senior Management

Rather than holding employees retained with attractive bonus plan pay them competitive salaries and let them work hard for it.

Advice to Senior Management

Egotists and bullies crush innovation and inspiration while management looks on.
Lack of 360 reviews.
Management gives lip service to career development of their teams.
Acronyms do not make good brand names, especially when no one in the company knows what they all refer to.

Advice to Senior Management

Implement 360 reviews.
Make it a review requirement that managers document the career development plans for their people.
Remove the bullies, hypocrites, game players, and layabouts exposed by the reviews.Reward the people who are most favorably looked upon AND who go above and beyond.
Rebrand products with catchy names, not stale boring, hard to remember acronyms.

Pros

i have been around for seven years...for the first time I am feeling a wave of change at BMC Pune. Lot of small small things happening all around. CEO visit was great. CSR update was motivational. Direct access to our own CTO makes us feel important and proud...First time in seven years, I am feeling energized to work here...some really bright people have joined BMC in recent years...keep it up.

Cons

I see a very positive change coming from top down, however lower management still very bad..micromanagement, lack of trust, pulling each others legs are issues...
