Pros

During acquisition BMC said it had made mistakes in the past about forcing corporate culture into the new division. They did ok at not letting that happen. Not good, just ok.

Cons

It's top leadership is seems inadequate and out of depth, hence the acquisition and takeover attempts. They rely heavily on very restrictive RSUs for bonus. They seem to copy other industry leader's innovation strategies, just to get them wrong.

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.
