Pros

If you are located in California compensation is relatively good because of the competition to find talented people. If your home country is India, Mexico, China or Ukraine then there is lots of growth opportunity available for you. BMC loves to invest in these countries because they pay lower wages - the flip side is constant turnover as individuals leave for better paying jobs. Numerous people work from home. Termination package is very generous.

Cons

It used to be an annual March/April reorg (hint hint firing), now it is also happening October/November. Several years back BMC was bought out to rebuild itself out of the public eye, investors are now keen on getting their ROI hence the twice annual reorgs. Sales and SEs are flying out the door for better opportunities. Competitors are chomping at BMC customer base. Products are buggy with only recent intention (CEO mandate) to fix them, not uncommon to have defects opened for years.

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.
