Pros

BMC consistently hires very smart, very knowledgeable, and very motivated people. The community is supportive at the individual level and the company level, with both a strong culture and great benefits. Lots of flexibility and good work-life balance. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Can be hard to move up the ladder. "Playing the game" politically is important and can occasionally trump more objective factors when it comes time to make decisions.

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.
