Pros

- Leadership (especially in Performance and Availability R&D) is best of class. - Progressive technical talent specializing in SaaS and PaaS has been acquired. - BMC as a business is well run and efficient, and compares far better in this regard than other companies of a similar size.

Cons

- IT Security policy is antiquated, driven by customer policy, and inhibits remote work, especially for modern DevOps workflows that support R&D. - Tech culture for some groups is in need of an overhaul (don't let this deter you, WE NEED YOU, to help us change!) - BMC legal's position on IP and OpenSource is antiquated and severely inhibits the culture and marketing opportunities the movement presents (We are trying to change this, WE NEED YOUR HELP!)

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.
