Sad ending to a great company

Business Outlook

Pros

The previous owners really care about employees, great work environment with nice amenities (coffee, soda, some lunches, etc.). Good work-life balance because there's not a lot of pressure to complete tasks quickly.

Cons

The company was sold. The new company says they care but I don't feel they practice what they preach.

Still a good place to work at

Business Outlook

Pros

Perforce is still a good place to work at. I enjoy the technology, my co-workers, my commute, the work I do, so I can't complain. Perforce, when privately owned, was a wonderful place to work, but even now it is still a good place. 401k matching, bonuses, massages, bagels, juices/soft drinks, fresh fruit are still offered. Company is still growing and hiring. Change is hard for some people, but it's an inevitable part of life and everyone should take stock of their own situation. If you don't like your current situation you can always go elsewhere.

Cons

The current company is different than the old Perforce, and yes the mood can sometimes be a bit down when people leave to pursue other opportunities. And there is some uncertainty as other companies are acquired.

Great product, many good people. Trying to hit the bigger time, management not uniform.

Business Outlook

Pros

P4 product well accepted, widely used, solidly built. Engineer-makes-good, grows-his-own-company success story. Serious focus on customer satisfaction & profitable business. Smart, competent, professional co-workers, world wide engineering, sales and support generally excellent. Quirky and interesting people and culture. A lot of heart.

Cons

Good engineers aren't always good judges of non-engineering talent. May be better now. Mysterious, melodramatic turbulence in IT, 2011. Improbable, hard to understand holdovers from small company era. May be better now. Dis-functional pocket I experienced seemed to be in a different company from happy and productive majority.
