Perforce Software reviews

The handcuffs are golden indeed, but it still can't hide the flaws that run rife through the company. Mid-level management is promoted from within, and in many cases isn't prepared, or trained appropriately to take the positions. In many cases they were simply in the position for so long that the next logical step was to promote them because there was no where else to go. They are also hiring to fill the executive positions and are getting top-heavy with executive management. Plus there is an unstated 'don't fire anyone' policy. HR doesn't deal with personnel problems hoping that it will get better with time. They've been expanding too quickly without clearly defining what they want to do both as a company and for the future. There is a plan - but its not clearly defined for the individual contributor. There is 'freedom' when working and then there is nothing. Perforce falls on the nothing side of the scale with an organized chaos form of freedom - there aren't any rules - do what it takes to get it done, and don't worry about who you hurt on the way. Problematically its an outdated program that is although integral to much of Silicon Valley it won't be long before its made irrelevant by more agile and more solid programs.

On my team, they only ever cared about your pipeline and nothing else. I would be surprised if they even knew my last name honestly. When confronted with how dysfunctional the dynamic was, it was easier for them to twist words and make it look like I was at fault. Layoffs are never ending and no one truly feels safe. Say goodbye to having a personal life. On top of everything, also the most disrespectful compensation plan that I have ever laid my eyes on in my career.
