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.

Pros

Perforce was a great place to work. Smart people. Useful product. Happy customers. Workers eagerly accepted below-average compensation just to work there.

Cons

After the 2016 buyout, not so much. About half of the best people have already left for more interesting work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Having a decent job until something better comes along.

Cons

The new management team, particularly Mark Ties and Janet Dryer, have made their contempt and resentment for "all things Perforce" (particularly the Alameda office) abundantly clear. Janet telling the entire office in her first week that she fell in love with the Company during the acquisition has proven to be the first of many lies. She fell in love with $$$ only. Actions speak louder than words. They are doing everything they can to avoid investing in the growth of any office, except Minnesota. Our careers page speaks for itself. It's only a matter of time before Minnesota is our headquarter office. Something everyone knows to be true, but management refuses to address.
