Pros

BMC is actively recruiting and marketing themselves as a great employer, which is important for them to turn the company around after years of not making their numbers.

Cons

The reality is that BMC is still a good old boys club that is run by a group of white older men that have been there for years and years. Women in senior leadership positions are very rare. Of the top 17 senior leaders, only 2 are women. The reality is that women are treated and evaluated differently than men and it's systematically ingrained in their culture. In 2018, it's not ok and there is no excuse for this complete lack of diversity.

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.
