Business Outlook
Pros
1. Very good compensation.
2. Some people are really good at what they do and fun to work with. Can't be said for everyone though.
Cons
1. Very tough to maintain work life balance. It feels like the company owns you.
2. Buttering is preferred over work.

Thank you for your time today and your response today. Its very important to BMC to create a culture where employees feel valued and appreciated and your comments will help us to improve as we look to the future.
They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
