Pros

BMC has great products. The IT Service Support Management business is innovative and exciting. Robin Purohit and the leadership team he has put in place are driving growth that is restoring BMC to a leadership position in the market. Bill Berutti is also driving innovation, but has a steep hill to climb. Mainframe and Workload Automation businesses continue to deliver solid results.

Cons

BMC is no longer a great company because it has lost sight of its people. Cost cutting continues in many areas, making the "do more with less" mantra more true than ever. People are burned out. Lack of confidence in many leaders is also contributing to attrition, which is no longer a cause for alarm for upper management, since it helps the bottom line.

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.
