Pros

The work is interesting and BMC is going places without a doubt. The business is booming with amazing sales and products others would die for. ServiceNow is being left in the dust.

Cons

Stagnant wages and a workforce looking for the door. There is already a 50% staff attrition in sales annually, so most of the sales team don't know anything about the products. Staff get well below inflation wage rises(so that is a wage cut).

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.
