Acquire a profitable company and layoff employees

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They won't tell your job is in danger in advance until they schedule a zoom call of 2 mins

Cons

Perforce acquires profitable companies and just after acquisition they will pretend that acquired company is making loss and to maintain the profitability they will reduce the workforce of newly acquired company by 50%. On being asked about their plans to reduce the workforce, they have one liner answer "ALL THE EMPLOYEES WILL BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY".

Perforce Software Response

I appreciate the post and unfortunately with many acquisitions we do have positions that are redundant. In any situation where employees are involved we want to make sure we provide every opportunity for them to find their next role. In this specific situation, we provided a generous transition period, counseling, resume reviews and transparent communication throughout the process. We wish you the best and are here to help if you need any assistance. ~ Jim Cassens, CEO

Thank you for your review! India is a growing and important location for us. I had the good fortune to visit our location earlier this year. The employees were friendly, engaged and a hard working bunch. The working environment was comfortable with a open air cafeteria, newly remodeled facilities and top notch equipment. We are looking into potential enhancements to our benefit programs. Thanks again for the review.
