Pros

Generally speaking, BMC has a lot of smart people, motivated to do the right things for the company and for its customers. It is easy to ask for and receive help. Good benefits and work environment allows for appropriate work/life balance most of the time.

Cons

Pace of change and adaptability are challenges. Recent company struggles have resulted in a lot of change, but unclear it will put the company back on the right trajectory.

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.
