Pros

Great work to Life balance. Pay is good and great if you are getting paid 100% on renewals. Good culture with employees (but there are clicks) Executive Management changes every 6 months, so if you don't like the existing just wait until the wind blows and changes the executives. If you are looking for a place to work 20% of the time and get paid 150%, this is the place. (retirement for old sales reps)

Cons

Long term BMC employees (5 years or more) do not interact or welcome new BMC employees. Lots of clicks that do not interact with others. The commission department is a joke. Every month the commission is incorrect and changes. When we ask for an explanation, they have no clue. Technology is old and lacks innovation. BMC is still stuck on Mainframes. BMC looks for new ways to manipulate revenue (not create new revenue streams) from old technology. If you are looking for a place to work 20% of the time and get paid 120%, this is the place. (retirement for old sales reps) VERY BORING place. Will drive a young person nuts! No real leaders in management or executives. Executives have own agenda, such as visiting new offices around the world for travel miles rather then meeting people and leading them.

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.
