Performance Software reviews

Management often TOO responsive - problem is generally put on employees. Deterioration of concern for employees lately, probably because of new "big company" HR [liability]. Compensation: Well under median pay (10% or more under). Raises well under industry average. Bonuses highly variable, all except one of mine has been under 0.5%. Direction: Management indecisive and unfocused. Career path and training: First-line Management can't direct career path for individual employees -- there is micromanagement and consensus from "the top" for this -- that is, if you are not a 'blessed' employee, you are not getting opportunity. This cliquishness runs from "the top" down. Work load: Generally boring work load (except clique). There is not much to do about this, we work legacy systems here. Lack of hiring focus: The company stresses skill sets like it's competing with Google for top software design talent while the true ideal employee based on the work is a motivated EE/CS double major with experience in QA or Process Engineering.

This is barely a con but while they have many regional offices, they also support several engineers who work from home of which I am one. The ONLY down side to this is I miss the collaboration with the fellow engineers - the hallway chats of sharing knowledge. To compensate for this, several local employees who work from home meet occasionally for lunch and in this regard, the company is fostering work relationships! - Plus we have tools for communicating with each other quite readily.
