Thanks for leaving a post and it's good to hear you are enjoying the culture and good people of Perforce. We actually promoted 190 people in '24 and are on pace to have even more promotions in '25. We do annual merit increases, regular 1 on 1 meetings with managers to discuss career progression and build a plan for achieving a successful career at Perforce. This year we also brought on a leader of Learning and Development who will be focused on programs that are specific to employee development. Thanks again for the post. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

The company offers a competitive salary, which is definitely a plus. I've had the chance to speak with people from other projects and teams, and many of them seem to have a much healthier and well-managed environment. The CEO and upper leadership come across as thoughtful and focused on long-term goals, which is encouraging.

Cons

I've been with the Klocwork team at Perforce for quite some time, but recent project management changes have made the environment increasingly difficult for everyone. Overtime has started to become normalized, and we're overloaded with daily meetings. To make things worse, we are required to submit EOD updates in written form and then repeat the exact same points again in the next morning's DSM meetings. Failing to do so results in managers yelling or calling people out publicly. The level of micromanagement is exhausting and demotivating. The Pune team has it even worse. They are consistently overlooked—for example, they aren't even considered for release parties. These events are planned exclusively for WFH employees without any input from the Pune office, which is both disrespectful and demoralizing. Overall, it's becoming harder to stay motivated in this environment, and it's time I start exploring new opportunities.

Thank you for leaving this post. I will follow up with our Klockwork team to determine necessary changes. Our leaders definitely do not want to create environments where employees feel micro managed, overworked and not recognized. We regularly call out the great work done by teams around the company with our Perforce Hero segment in our All Hands meetings or our Customer Champion Awards. If you are willing to have a call with me, I would love a chance to speak to you in detail on making the environment better. Reach out to me on email. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
