Pros

Salary, co- workers, past history as a fantastic employer (but that is long over).

Cons

Only one pay raise in five years, despite high achievements and annual reviews. Horrible Vice President. Constantly changed his mind, and then acted like his "underlings" were just stupid and had not understood what he wanted. A capricious, Machiavellian slave driver to work for. An expectation that Employees's must drop everything and live, breathe, and never sleep for BMC's benefit.

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.
