Pros

The people at BMC are great! They are supportive, friendly, and eager to do the best job they can in spite of things out of their control.

Cons

The primary focus is to pay off the debt incurred when going private. This means hiring staff in India and Israel and attempting to train them to be productive. The downside of this is that the people expected to train them are the sames ones buried under a workload that hasn't changed from when we had three times the staffing. Some of the upper management is honest and worth the trust of the employees. Others are less so. It can end up creating moments of toxicity.

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.
