Pros

Talented people, sound balance sheet, flexible work culture. BMC has some great people. They do have a very sound balance sheet , they guard it fiercely! The work culture is not bad at all.

Cons

Surprisingly not agile for a medium sized company, street-focussed,highly political executive management, not receptive to innovative ideas, sees India as cost centre. Almost get the feeling the executive management is making it lean for an acquistion. It may be bought sooner than later ; this year or the next.Product portfolio is good but the stack doesnt come together.

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.
