Growth opportunities within to fail forward fast!

Director, global talent acquisition

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a high growth, both organic and inorganic, firm there are many career advancement opportunities within - from exposure to new products, to leading edge technology, to industry trainings, to various projects, there's an opportunity to grow. The pace is fast, and team members are empowered to fail forward fast; there's no shortage of new, diverse challenges and experiences here! The company is full of wicked smart people in all functions and the culture is overall welcoming, inclusive, humble, and collaborative. There is no false advertising here when it comes to the company's CATCH values and how the leadership team lives those out within the business. The work-life integration is real - flexible Fridays and the TTO policies are honored and actually taken by team members and leaders, at all levels.

Cons

As the company has grown by acquisition, there are still some systems and processes that need maturation. The organization doesn't have a formal learning and development department today and could benefit overall from investing in these opportunities, particularly in leadership trainings.

Combined Delphix + Perforce review

Senior software development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There used to be some really talented people at Delphix, but many have left. The interview process is interesting and a bit easy. But they don't innovate the process

Cons

If it was a Delphix only review I would've probably given a 4, but since Delphix decided to get sold to Perforce, this rating goes to both Delphix and Perforce. Profit making is the sole purpose ig in corporate, nobody loves their product it's just a means to earn them more profit, and by them I only mean the top stakeholders not your average developer who works day in day out to make the product better. Blaming a particular company in this vast ecosystem of IT shops seems futile. - The biggest con of Delphix ig is that most of the people who decide what will be worked on and distributed down to the last developer do not know the in and outs of the product especially the Engineering managers, and the worst part is they're the ones who decide the fate of the developer. I can count the number of people who actually know the product well and what it does and actually treat Delphix as it's their own product.

Thank you for the feedback in your post. No, we're not perfect but I hope that you'll find our approach - build a great company, with great people and truly value added products - will resonate with you. This will be a process and not something that can change over night. Our employees are our greatest asset and we believe hold the answers to our success. I hope given more time with Perforce, you'll see how collaborative our company can be. Delphix is one of the most meaningful acquisitions in terms of people and products. Our goal is to embark on strategies that will get the solution in use with more customers than every before. Thanks again for the feedback as we can use this information to continuously improve. ~ Jim Cassens, Perforce CEO
