Pros

My direct management and team

Cons

BMC has zero strategy and an executive leadership team that can only make decisions in the best interest of them and their private equity owners, not the other 99.9% of employees. If your long term strategy changes every 6-12 months, then you don't have a strategy at all. BMC's idea of "growth" is just continually cutting costs, even if that means not giving the employees they decide to keep their annual increases to keep up with market and cost of living. Ayman, the CEO, is a poor communicator and a terrible leader, which the executive team follows. Quit acting like we are some sort of cutting edge company and can compete with the likes of Broadcom and ServiceNow. Let's stick with continuously improving and investing at what we are good at and quit trying to fix a problem line of business. If you can't fix it in over a decade, cut ties and move on.

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.
