Pros

- BMC is a fairly flexible workplace with opportunities to work from home on a regular basis - Overall pay package in line with the market - Global company, providing opportunities to work on the same project / product with people from different countries

Cons

- Career progression can be limited - really only possible in a few locations (India, US, Israel) - Frequent management reshuffles with no real change - Cost cutting tends to be applied to wrong things - travel IS important when working with people in several locations in order to keep in contact

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.
