I love working at Perforce!

Pros

In the 5 years I've been here, I've had great managers and many opportunities to learn. I've always had enough direction to align myself with department goals but also had the freedom to accomplish them in creative ways with minimal red tape. I've been able to go to all the training I want and work on projects that interest me. We have monthly floating holidays (that's right 12 floating holidays a year) in addition to our normal vacation and sick time. We receive monthly onsite massages, weekly tea time & a myriad of other perks and benefits.

Cons

As with many smaller companies, if you want to climb the tall corporate ladder - this is not the place for you.

Thanks for leaving a post and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying working at Perforce. People are our greatest asset and we work hard to create an atmosphere that is good to employees and supports success for their career. We recently put forth a direction for our portfolio and internal systems based on the evolution of AI. Our product direction has been validated both internally and externally. We've laid out a plan for improved efficiencies for our employees using AI that will allow them to be more productive, remove mundane tasks and allow employees to focus on meaningful work. We have invested in AI for our engineers and are spending over $4M in tools and training. It would be great for us to talk to make sure you are aligned with our direction. Schedule a meeting with me so together we can review your concerns and our direction. I look forward to our conversation. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
