Pros

* Relaxed environment * Smart coworkers * Half days on Fridays

Cons

* Poor compensation and small bonuses / CoL adjustments which makes it seem like the employees are helping pay for acquisitions * Career advancement is non-existent * Hiring focus in India means that US teams are augmented with Indian workers making collaboration difficult because of time zones * The lack of investment in engineering stifles innovation and leads to subpar feature releases * Engineers are often kept in the dark about larger initiates and given little context about why they are doing things

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. As CEO, this feedback is important information that helps us make changes to improve our work environment. Our employees are our most important asset and we want to create a conducive environment. It would be great to learn more and if you are comfortable, please reach out to me and let's talk. As of April, 2024, we have promoted 115 employees including 27 in our engineering team. Communication is hugely important and an area of emphasis for all of our leaders in Perforce. I'd like to understand how we can improve project communication to ensure you know what you are working on and the impact that project has on our business. I do look at new products or versions as a guide of our ability to innovate. We have released new products like Digital Asset Management, Helix Core Cloud and several new features/services/modules in Puppet, Gliffy and many others, Our annual Hackathon drives significant innovation and anyone can participate in those Hackathons. Certainly, we do have to carefully chose where innovation happens and we intend to continually invest in innovation where it makes sense. Thanks again for providing this feedback to allow us to know where we can improve.

Great Culture and Work Life Balance!

Pros

Perforce is a fun and fast paced place to work. The new CEO has brought much needed transparency and a sincerity that is greatly appreciated. Pay and benefits are good and there are lots of added perks and fun activities that make it a great place to work. Executives and managers are approachable and nice to work with. Most importantly-there is work life balance. Managers are very respectful of people's time off and home lives-I feel like I always have the flexibility I need as a busy parent.

Cons

There are some longer term employees in higher management/executive positions that do not have experience at larger companies and are resistant to the evolution necessary to operate a company of our size. Things that work at company with 300 employees don't work at a company with 2000 employees. Frequent acquisitions bring lots of changes and some challenges so if you are someone who doesn't like change or the "messiness" of integrations, you might struggle a bit depending on the type of work you do.

Pros

Tons of variety, ample opportunities to move up and across with a diverse portfolio. New acquisitions mean new opportunities. Management is supportive overall, people are generally smart and passionate.

Cons

With acquisitions comes integration woes. With passion comes strong opinions.

Thanks for posting a review. Marketing is vital to our success, especially with a portfolio that has the breadth that our does. Acquisitions our key to our continued growth and we do realize the solutions we acquire do require time, patience and support as we integrate new team members. Thanks again for your feedback and as CEO helps to identify what's most important to our employees.
