Pros

This is such a terrible place. Please don't work here.

Cons

The management just really loves to lie. The managers make blatant false claims just to appease the employees. They are very manipulative, and lying is their expertise. Instead of leading, they are only bossing people around and manipulative them. This company has got to be one of the most horrible places I've ever worked in.

Pros

If you are someone who agrees with everything others say, you might survive here. If you have a brain and want to use it, stay away!

Cons

THE MANAGEMENT IS TOO ARROGANT AND SELFISH. THEY WANT EVERYTHING DONE EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WANT. If you say yes to everything the evil management says, even if it's something awful and ridiculous, you can stay here for a while. If you like to share your opinions and want to contribute your ideas, things will be terrible for you. The pushy nature of the management often has some unfavorable consequences and led to chaos that could have been avoided. BEWARE!

Pros

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

Cons

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).
