Pros

Great product Great people to work with Fantastic customers The company has changed hands 16 months ago and changed considerably. It started out more like a lifestyle company with lots of parties, swag and a fantastic feeling of freedom to it. When the company got sold by the original founder and owner many employees were very disappointed. There came the inevitable layoffs, followed by a change in management and even head quarters. In the meantime many additional old timers have left for various reasons. But there is also a lot of positives. The company needed streamlining of staff and processes, it had become very top-heavy. Perforce needed new focus instead of hopping around after too many trends and private projects. And the market place has changed: Perforce is no longer the only serious game in town. The changes have opened new opportunities for those willing to continue the work the founder has laid down. New faces with new talents have joined, especially with the first acquisition.

Cons

Personal development is still very much in your own hands, although there are many possibilities. Do not expect a clear career path laid out for you - this is very much a "do the job, then get the title" kind of company.

I'm sorry to hear you're not enjoying your experience, especially given this is our Pune location that just won a Great Place to Work Award that was voted on by our employees of this location. The office is a fun and inviting space, where we feed our employees, provide state of the art equipment and are training our engineers on AI. We hold monthly all hands meetings that are recorded for the entire company, townhall meetings for both product lines and locations. I hope you're able to attend those as we are committed to be transparent about what's going on in the business and we answer all questions from our employees. I also send out a bi-weekly CEO message and we do a podcast called Tech Buzz Today. I'd love to talk to you about what you're experiencing. Please schedule some time with me. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
