Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the benefits, salary, and supportive atmosphere within the company, especially in India. We value collaboration and inclusivity across all our teams, regardless of location, and it’s important to us that everyone feels supported. Please feel free to reach out to HR or directly to me about your concerns. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

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.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. Hopefully you are participating in our annual Hackathon as a way to show us your skills and use some new technology. Many of the products we have in our portfolio have been in market for some time and serving our customers well. That also means they were built on technology that was modern at the time but are maybe not in that category any longer. As CEO, I believe we build a well-rounded technologist by exposing you to both. I'd be interested in hearing your ideas on how we keep our software engineers motivated. Don't hesitate to drop me an email!
