Vantaggi

Great product Great people to work with Fantastic customers The company has changed hands 16 months ago and changed considerably. It started out more like a lifestyle company with lots of parties, swag and a fantastic feeling of freedom to it. When the company got sold by the original founder and owner many employees were very disappointed. There came the inevitable layoffs, followed by a change in management and even head quarters. In the meantime many additional old timers have left for various reasons. But there is also a lot of positives. The company needed streamlining of staff and processes, it had become very top-heavy. Perforce needed new focus instead of hopping around after too many trends and private projects. And the market place has changed: Perforce is no longer the only serious game in town. The changes have opened new opportunities for those willing to continue the work the founder has laid down. New faces with new talents have joined, especially with the first acquisition.

Svantaggi

Personal development is still very much in your own hands, although there are many possibilities. Do not expect a clear career path laid out for you - this is very much a "do the job, then get the title" kind of company.

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

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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
