      Pros

      BMC Software is a going through an exciting times. The company is gearing up to a go public again with a new CEO. The culture is no nonsense and people respect hard work and expertise. Colleagues (in EMEA) are collegial and the culture is friendly and respectful.

      Cons

      If you are not in sales, career and salary progression is very difficult (if non-existent). Finance, legal, order management etc, based anywhere other than Houston, offer very little room to grow. People in Houston who joined the company later and with less experience get promoted faster than in EMEA or ASIAPAC. Practically speaking the company implemented a freeze on base salaries on all non-sales functions.

      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.
