      Pros

      BMC offers a very dynamic and highly interconnected development, where you are exposed to a lot of people from different places all working together on large and integrated products. Good working atmosphere, openness and competitive salary, bonuses and options.

      Cons

      The organization goes through too many re-orgs. People and teams are being shuffled back and force, the responsibilities are changed too often and most of the time people are cut and you can't really know it will not be you. The organization tries to find an inside job for those being cut, but not always it is possible. Also, a lot of products are legacy and it is not fun working on outdated technologies.

      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.
