      Pros

      Great people who work at BMC and a good portfolio of software to work with. Good balance of life and work. Get to solve interesting challenges for customers. The software is not tied to specific hardware or closed environments.

      Cons

      Middle management is always getting in the way. Software can be too complex or not very well integrated at first. It's a big company that still thinks its a small company at times, but lacks the innovation of a smaller firm. Too many useless acquisitions that go by the wayside before they are integrated with the existing offerings.

      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.
