Pros
If your only objective in life is hoping to earn as much money as possible, putting ethics and your mental health at risk, this is definitely the place for you
Cons
Majority of management comes from BMC, for those who don't know what this means, in a nutshell: - micromanagement at all levels. under the fancy term of 'coachability' they look for people who aren't going to discuss anything of the company's gospel (the 'sales process'). During the bootcamp they will want you to repeat word by word their sacred mantras like a puppet without any critical thinking. - toxic environment: sales management is full of yes-men who simply try to survive as much as possible to bring home as much money as possible with stock options. You will just be a tool in this strategy, and your manager will be ready to sacrifice you if this means longer survival for him. No respect for people, especially presales are considered as account executives' secretaries. - if you don't come from companies like BMC/BladeLogic you will be taken into lower consideration regardless of your competences or objective value, because 'they know how to sell'.
