Thanks for leaving a post about your experience at Perforce. I would agree with you that our Minneapolis location is a vibrant office. It has an open floor plan, free snacks and coffee, community lunches on Wednesday's, happy hours on Thursday's, a game room, golf simulator and a Fun Committee that keeps the fun flowing with costume parties, scavenger hunts, Twins baseball outtings, we really enjoy being with our employees and mixing in fun at work. We also have key recognitions for our employees from Perforce Hero's to our Pinnacle Awards, to acknowledging good work at our All Hands meetings. Thanks for leaving the post! ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Crunch is expected. Bullying is rewarded. Learn what you can, then get out.

Pros

I used to call this the best job I ever had, because I was well paid (for my title) and I felt like I was trusted to try new things for the first year or two. Unlimited time off is nice, but necessary for managing the constant stress. I wish I'd used a lot more of it. Free snacks are great and company outings can be nice. They keep acquiring companies, so working for such a big company can be a nice resume booster.

Cons

Roles are poorly defined and the organization "runs lean," which means responsibilities keep growing until you're really underpaid for the work you do. Same for your coworkers. Instead of clear responsibilities, everyone kind of does everything until everything’s done. The amount of work ranges from 'a full plate' to just crushing. Bullies and bad actors thrive because they're encouraged to squeeze the people below them for more and more work. Some managers would be happiest with a small army of AI robots to do their bidding instead of people with goals and ideas. The disrespect ranges from the professional to the personal, but it's all ignored at the leadership level. Promotions are rare and raises do not keep pace with inflation. Department leadership is constantly reacting to the fancies of their bosses, rather than standing up for their teams, so people at the middle and bottom always have to scramble to keep up with unreasonable expectations.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the culture at our Minneapolis location. It is truly a fun environment with team and company outings, happy hour on Thursday's, social activities, a fun area with ping pong, video games, a golf simulator and much, much more. And you can't forget about the free snacks and community lunch provided to the entire location on Wednesdays. We work hard to make sure we offer competitive pay and benefits. We have promoted over 150 employees this year as the business continues to grow both through exciting acquisitions and organically. We have engaged in additional training for leaders at all levels to ensure we are engaging employees at every role and addressing any concerns that they have. I would love to have an opportunity to speak with you on a personal level to help understand where you feel we could improve. Thanks for leaving the post, ~Jim Cassens, CEO

I appreciate you taking the time to post here and I'm happy to hear you're finding the flexible work environment a benefit. We work hard to bring the best and brightest talent to Perforce who fit our collaborative culture. We do look at pay every 6 months or so and have made adjustments as needed. I would encourage you to speak to your manager about your career and pay. They can develop a career map for you. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
