Thanks for leaving a post. I had the good fortune to travel to Pune last January and hope to do it again this year. Great people, great office space with tremendous cafeteria. Our team in India is working on some exciting new AI features for our products that will certainly change the shape of DevOps and allow customers to accelerate their DevOps pipeline. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you on my next trip. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

The Glassdoor interface requires filling out a field about the best reasons to work here. But this point poses the greatest difficulty for me. I believe the company may be suitable for those seeking a so-called work-life balance.

Cons

In the pursuit of this work-life balance, it reaches the point where employees in leading engineering positions have no idea how the product itself works. The office is empty from Monday to Friday. Occupancy is under 10%. The less you work, the more idle you are. Clients don’t complain – so why stress? These phrases come from people who have been here for years. Naturally, this might suit those who do not want to work. The interview process is purely formal. It’s hard not to pass it. For the simple reason that the interviewers themselves cannot approach hiring effectively; their competence in the specific areas simply doesn’t allow it. The product is a mix of various technologies, with each individual component being subpar. Consequently, they have few experts in specific fields. I may have met a couple of people who actually know what they’re doing. Mostly, it’s an attempt to quickly patch a temporary solution so that “clients don’t complain.”

I appreciate the feedback. We do strive for a work-life balance and I'm glad it came through as a positive for you. Based on your comments, we have an opportunity to do better in several areas including hiring, onboarding and product knowledge in key roles. All of these are currently being worked on to improve across the organization and hopefully drive better alignment for everyone. Continuous improvement is at the heart of Perforce and we will continue to make strides in improving our solutions, our culture and employee engagement. Thanks again for the post. ~ Jim Cassens, CEO

Thanks for posting. We certainly are solving some of the hardest problems in DevOps. I'm glad your enjoying the challenge. I would love an opportunity to talk more about how we could improve our policies around IT Infrastructure and project management tools. As a growing organization, there are standards we need to maintain and consolidation of tools to drive consistency across the organization Reach out to me for a conversation, I'd like to learn more. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
