Pros

Nice office, some extra perks, global company with travel and opportunities in many countries.

Cons

Your evaluation is based on how many hours you spend at the office. Your actual output does not seem to be important. What really bothers me is that the majority of our product portfolio is actually pretty old and really not very good and we are not pushed for innovative developments because it might hurt the huge support income on some products. The integrations between products that should be so good and native are actually just custom build scripts etc. Don't get me wrong, I like BMC as a company but I am realy starting to be more and more ashamed about our product portfolio.

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.
