Cons

-Communication on key business decisions that affect everyone's jobs stays locked, little transparency is shared until after the fact. -401k match has been stagnant for years, although past recruiters have told new hires that the 401k match will be raised.

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.

Thanks for the review. As your CEO, this feedback is so important. As a growing company, we do experience the need to help our employees adjust to a growing environment. I'll use your feedback to ensure we provide the appropriate level of education to our leaders for understanding how to scale the organization. Thank you!
