Pluspunten

Good starting salary, can't think of anything else positive to say but there is a 20 word minimum to post so...

Minpunten

Not the same company I joined 4 years ago. Things changed just over 2 years ago with a hostile takeover attempt by a majority shareholder (Elliott) and BMC swallowed a "poison pill." This hurt long term sales. A year later they went private and promised to invest in their products. This also hurt long term sales. Most of the talented people left at this time. The new owners are all "vulture capitalist" firms. They've done massive RIFs every 6 months since. While laying people off, the owners took out a $900 million loan and paid themselves bonuses for a "job well done." Their products got pushed out the door with fatal defects that took several months to resolve. They no longer innovate. Their products have been stale for years and their competitors are catching up or passing them. I went from feeling like a valuable asset to the company with some of the best managers in my career (they all left) to having a horrible manager and feeling like an expendable number at the end. Annual salary increases are non-existent. Would not recommend this company to anyone.

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Minpunten

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.
