Avantages

An exciting company to work. Change happening almost daily. If you can break into the leadership club, you may really enjoy working at Perforce.

Inconvénients

Company is focused on growth and only growth. They acquire company -after-company and do not take the time to fully understand the integrations or how each product may align beyond the marketing benefits. As a result, employees take on unreasonable responsibility to cut costs without much leadership involvement. They cut jobs early on in the process leaving existing employees with unrealistic expectations to keep things working. Leadership then moves on to the next company to acquire and never really finishes up the clean-up or mess they caused. Everyone realizes early on that you are just a employee cost to the company and can be laid off at any time, for any reason. Most of the technology staff are on edge with each acquisition. They also lost a lot of good employees that simply no longer wanted to stay and continue the risk of an abrupt termination. All the senior leadership are friends from a past company and a few should not be in a leadership role. They try to be very engaged with the employees and make it a fun place to work but this creates a culture where if you don't fit into the "club," you are destined for failure. HR has become HR with no considering for the employee engagement (it was not always like that). Most experienced engineers turn down job offers once they realize in the interview process the culture and lack of direction (it is apparent when taking to them).

Thanks for the message and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the culture here at Perforce. With the latest acquisition, we crossed another plateau in growth and our processes need to evolve to support a larger organization. We are also updating a number of processes with AI. Thanks for leaving the message. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Avantages

I used to call this the best job I ever had, because I was well paid (for my title) and I felt like I was trusted to try new things for the first year or two. Unlimited time off is nice, but necessary for managing the constant stress. I wish I'd used a lot more of it. Free snacks are great and company outings can be nice. They keep acquiring companies, so working for such a big company can be a nice resume booster.

Inconvénients

Roles are poorly defined and the organization "runs lean," which means responsibilities keep growing until you're really underpaid for the work you do. Same for your coworkers. Instead of clear responsibilities, everyone kind of does everything until everything’s done. The amount of work ranges from 'a full plate' to just crushing. Bullies and bad actors thrive because they're encouraged to squeeze the people below them for more and more work. Some managers would be happiest with a small army of AI robots to do their bidding instead of people with goals and ideas. The disrespect ranges from the professional to the personal, but it's all ignored at the leadership level. Promotions are rare and raises do not keep pace with inflation. Department leadership is constantly reacting to the fancies of their bosses, rather than standing up for their teams, so people at the middle and bottom always have to scramble to keep up with unreasonable expectations.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the culture at our Minneapolis location. It is truly a fun environment with team and company outings, happy hour on Thursday's, social activities, a fun area with ping pong, video games, a golf simulator and much, much more. And you can't forget about the free snacks and community lunch provided to the entire location on Wednesdays. We work hard to make sure we offer competitive pay and benefits. We have promoted over 150 employees this year as the business continues to grow both through exciting acquisitions and organically. We have engaged in additional training for leaders at all levels to ensure we are engaging employees at every role and addressing any concerns that they have. I would love to have an opportunity to speak with you on a personal level to help understand where you feel we could improve. Thanks for leaving the post, ~Jim Cassens, CEO
