Pros

Good paymaster. Job security if you establish yourself in the right group.

Cons

It is sad to see how BMC is dying a slow death due to a culture of no-risk-taking. Good people are leaving BMC in hoards. No decision gets made because no one wants to stick out their neck. Common theme is to see people doing minimal work and hiding because they are waiting to get a severance package for their years of service or because they simply want to retire.

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.
