Pros

I really liked the people I worked with at BMC. There were always people with great skills and a willingness to get the job done right.

Cons

When I worked at BMC there were several rounds of layoffs. You never knew if you were going to have a job from one day to the next. I know this is inevitable in the software business, but sometimes it didn't seem necessary.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

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.
