Pros

Great support from very knowledgable employees. Marketing was a real team, a lot of communication even despite high-rise cubicle desks. Good office vibes with fun lunches and a nice cafe right outside the office.

Cons

There really are not any

Pros

No more pros at this company.

Cons

Ethically bankrupt management team, based in Minneapolis. Treat Alameda employees -- where the brain trust resides -- like infants and second-class citizens. CEO is prone to lying and sudden about-faces that don't appear to come for any clear reasons. Poor communicator. This has gone from a technology company to a money company. Money, money, money. Apart from the Chief Product Officer, who is outstanding, the rest of the "leadership" sadly lack any kind of real background in technology and any kind of capacity to engage in complex thinking.

A changed company with opportunities

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
