Pros

I worked at BMC for over 15 years and was very well paid and had a great deal of freedom for the first 10 years or so....we were building a company. If you can sell or part of the old boys sales team you are golden.

Cons

A culture of cut throats. Even when doing well there always seems someone is out to get you... gossip and misinformation are quite common. Complete lack of loyalty ...what have you done for me today! I had a couple of mediocre years and got canned.

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.
