Pros

BMC does have some good solutions that will deliver value to customers.

Cons

Too many internally competing products in certain groups. This is confusing to customers and sales will often pitch what delivers the biggest commission; not what is best for the customer. Terrible sales structure. Pressure for short term forecasting that simply inflates the pipeline with unqualified opportunities then no management support towards closure. Company does not value its employees, especially around long term development.

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.
