Pros
Open and Supportive organizational culture and collaborative work environment. Good products and solutions, good access to technical experts, and the best sales training of any org I have worked for so great company for developing sales skills
Cons
Products are perceived as legacy by the market, and the company's pivot to the cloud is taking longer than expected which is delaying sales cycles

Pros
People and benefits overall good. Some of the products are great too
Cons
A lot of change over the past few years. Some of it good of course but some of it not so much. Struggling to succeed in some markets and doing ok or well in others.

Pros
Overall, I had a great experience working at BMC. You get a great overview about various different aspects of enterprise IT, working with many great people along the way that gives you a great foundation about working with large complex IT environments.
Cons
The downside would be the direction of the market and the company. In my view, the company is having difficulty remaining relevant in many conversations and is not keeping up with the rapid development in the industry.

Pros
Great health benefits and convenient office locations. BMC are also flexible with work from home, and recognising work life balance. Solutions have been revamped to meet market demand
Cons
Quarterly driven sales business, with a lack of clarity for longer term strategy within the local geographies. You must be comfortable with pure new revenues focus hunting mentality, notfarming. Salaries are not market competitive as they once were, and the flat org structure limits career opportunities. Culture is a challenge with recent churn of management and local sales teams, which has led to regular... changes to tactics and ops cadence which is disruptive. Uncertainty around what the new owners are going to do with the busiensss next, as they continue to cut cost and streamline across the business.

Pros
New owners seem committed to long-term investment/growth. Great work-life balance. Flexible hours and time off. Excellent remuneration. Good professional development opportunities.
Cons
Decisions can be very USA-centric; sometimes results in square pegs being forced into round holes in other regions.
Advice to Management
Need to refresh our value and messaging around business service management; the transition to product pillars appears to promote competition rather than cooperation.
