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

We strive to create a unique and fun culture at Perforce centered around our employees. I'm glad you are enjoying that culture. Perforce as successfully completed thirteen acquisitions which creates new opportunities for our employees, customers and partners. I'm most excited about the career growth opportunities these acquisitions provide for our employees. As you mention, each acquisition has it's own set of challenges and we believe it's that journey that makes us stronger. If you have any ideas on how we can improve our integration process, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. ~ Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

Culture has evolved significantly with new CEO and leadership driving true growth and aligning everyone of a clear vision and opportunities. Perforce has became a leading DevOps vendor in so many fronts

Cons

Like in any other company: you need to find the right balance between all aspects of business, technology and life. not a real reason not consider Perforce, just understanding that the company goes through growth challenges, but this is very minor comparing it to other envs I worked at.

As leaders, we’re committed to fostering a workplace where employees feel trusted, supported, and valued—not micromanaged or overwhelmed. Recognizing the need for continued improvement, we’ve recently made additional changes within the team. Across Perforce, we make it a priority to celebrate exceptional work through programs like our Perforce Hero segment at All Hands meetings and the Customer Champion Awards. If you’re open to a conversation, I’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity to connect and hear your thoughts on how we can further strengthen the work environment. Please feel free to email me to set up a time. ~ Jim Cassens, CEO
