Pros

None. Worst place I have worked at. I enjoy the job and never felt this bad in my entire bdr life.

Cons

BMC helix SDR. This place is horrible. Never felt this bad in my life. Treated like utter garbage, I am the only sdr and management just leatch off you and blame when the business doesn't perform. It's gone from strategic to just message everyone and hope it sticks. There is no accountability, and the org has no demand generation so it's the sdr who gets Blaimed because people don't pick up. No one knows how to sell helix and if you don't get outbound meetings management decide not to pay you on an inbound. The website doesn't even come up when you search it, management just look at stats and tell you what you are not doing rather than finding out what actually works, it's a sad place. The APAC region is just left to the side, there is an issue with how customers and prospects view helix but the response is "we are better than servicenow' yeah having a handfull of customers in the region makes you better.... Don't think so. They pick and choose what to respond for rfps. No bid management so if you prospect a cold account they go to RFP oh nah we won't go for it. Then you get Blaimed on pg. Management don't know how to write a cold email and the only business coming through is past relationships of ae's. Bullying is evident. I am an older sdr but treated like I don't know anything because I am the junior person. There is no culture, nothing to motivate people, no career progression and no plan to get someone interested into an AE role. It's a sad place and wonder why customers have left.

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.
