BMC Software reviews

Ummm, lack of leadership, some sales members can be lazy or blame the people in the trenches making opportunities, when in reality it is up to them to close and also do their own outbound efforts. Environment is going towards a call center. Bdr managers just coast it seems or to be fair just don’t lead ( have a lot of tasks and things to manage)- maybe too much. Your future for promotion is a role of the dice mixed with random things. One day maybe it’s because you are a relative, one day you might be viewed as well organized, next day maybe it’s because you were passed some extra deals and look better than you are , sometimes the right people get promoted. Dysfunctional at times and potential hr nightmare on conversations that can take place. All about who you know at this place 80 percent of the time. You can’t be yourself either.

I'm not sure the company has a great vision for the future. The past 3-5 years have seen 3 different CEO's with 4 total changes, all with vastly different POV on how to run a business, one had us go public, the other had us go back private, another had us "sold" to a investment firm... So that is a little concerning. Although, each project is fairly self-contained. They're allowed to continue to work on whatever it is they want to work on and shape their project however the market determines, so that kinda makes up for this. But it would be nice to have one focus so you know what you're shooting for. Lastly, while they do a great job at rewarding/punishing I do wished they had more clear and defined roles and goals. It is a little bit of the wild wild west, where you do what you can and hope for the best. Instead of defining "Hey, you're going to be in this role, and this role has these things that it does." It makes it difficult to know if you're really doing a good job. I have no cons on how they treat you though. They've always been good to me, and I haven't seen anyone that has been miss-treated.
