Perforce Software Response

Thank you for the review. I would agree with you, as a growing company that is an active acquirer of companies, change is necessary as we integrate new entities. Additionally, we continue to adapt to our customers, market and fluctuations in the business environment. Hearing your feedback, we will look for ways to minimize the amount of change we ask our employees to absorb. Thanks again for the review.

Coworkers are kind and professional, work-life balance is prioritized, lots of happy hours and events to enjoy time working at Perforce.

Cons

Office is downtown, but you get parking paid for.

Perforce Software Response

Thanks for mentioning work-life balance. It is really important for us to maintain that balance for our employees. Everyone works hard and from time to time we have to put in some extra time to get things done but we are conscious of making sure there is appropriate balance to that time at work. Our Flexible Friday program allows employees to get an early start on the weekend and a good way to recharge and disconnect. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

It's good to hear you are finding Perforce has created a great work environment with a people first perspective. Our employees are what make Perforce great. We do work hard to keep a flat organizational structure and hopefully you will see continued improvement in access to leaders, understanding of our planning, and availability to technology needed for your role. We do keep a close eye on our expenses but that is intentional and done to eliminate any dramatic changes to our business. I was able to recently spend some time in our Pune office where we shared our product and portfolio direction that was met with great excitement from the team. We look forward to a bright future as our products will address a huge need in generating scalable applications at speed. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
