Thanks for leaving a post. I would agree with you, our culture is truly unique and important to our employee base. Let's face it, in the end we are a people organization. It's the skilled employees of Perforce that create the innovative products, solve the hardest problems and make this company a fun place to work. We are also focused on continuous improvement including educating and advancing the managers/leaders of our company. There are a number of initiatives we have planned for 2026 that will help our Account Executives be more effective and our leaders better coaches to our employees. Stay tuned for more. If you'd like to talk more about your experience with your manager, please feel free to schedule a meeting with me. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

Average pay Good work/life balance

Cons

Terrible management - should be written in caps - JUST TERRIBLE! Occasional layoffs time by time, with no direct reason. They just say one thing in All Hands Meetings, that everything is so awesome and outstanding, fenomenal year, almost in every All Hands meeting - and few months later, when they want to make layoffs - bad year, results are not so good, etc. Very strange management, company just loses talents, event the best ones will be just laid off, they don't care about people at all, although they say they will!

I'm sorry to hear your experience with Perforce hasn't met your expectations. Our All Hands meetings are key to our transparent communication to employees. In those meetings, we report on the good things happening in the company and our performance to our plan. That includes details on when we are not performing to plan, why we're not performing to plan and how we are fixing things. While the business needs to adjust to changes in the industries we serve, I'm happy to say we have done a great job in retaining our top talent with one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. We've promoted more people this year than ever and will continue to enhance the careers of our employees that are doing great work. The leadership team at Perforce cares deeply about our employees and their success. I'd be happy to talk more to you about your specific situation if you'd like to have a deeper conversation. Feel free to schedule some time with me. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
