Pros

Very average organization. Low flexibility.

Cons

- Appraisals are a big disappointment. - Growth seems slow (no focus on employee growth), management should focus on it. When promoting an employee; only promoting title and not payscale.

Thank you for the comments. I will spend some time with our Pune location leadership team to discuss your concerns. As a company, we promoted nearly 200 people last year and that included both pay and title. We are focused on employee career growth and have brought on a new role this year to focus on company wide Learning and Development programs. We do hold annual Hack-a-thon for our engineering team, engage them in new technologies like AI, and hold regular Tech Summits with the engineering teams to expand their knowledge. I would encourage you to take advantage of all those opportunities. Our Pune office is one of the best locations with an inviting atmosphere, great people, and benefits. We also offer the flexibility to work in a hybrid fashion. It would be great to have a follow on conversation on how we could make our appraisal process better. Reach out to me on Slack or email. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

The company offers a competitive salary, which is definitely a plus. I've had the chance to speak with people from other projects and teams, and many of them seem to have a much healthier and well-managed environment. The CEO and upper leadership come across as thoughtful and focused on long-term goals, which is encouraging.

Cons

I've been with the Klocwork team at Perforce for quite some time, but recent project management changes have made the environment increasingly difficult for everyone. Overtime has started to become normalized, and we're overloaded with daily meetings. To make things worse, we are required to submit EOD updates in written form and then repeat the exact same points again in the next morning's DSM meetings. Failing to do so results in managers yelling or calling people out publicly. The level of micromanagement is exhausting and demotivating. The Pune team has it even worse. They are consistently overlooked—for example, they aren't even considered for release parties. These events are planned exclusively for WFH employees without any input from the Pune office, which is both disrespectful and demoralizing. Overall, it's becoming harder to stay motivated in this environment, and it's time I start exploring new opportunities.

Thank you for leaving this post. I will follow up with our Klockwork team to determine necessary changes. Our leaders definitely do not want to create environments where employees feel micro managed, overworked and not recognized. We regularly call out the great work done by teams around the company with our Perforce Hero segment in our All Hands meetings or our Customer Champion Awards. If you are willing to have a call with me, I would love a chance to speak to you in detail on making the environment better. Reach out to me on email. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
