Pros

Friendly and talented people. Good engineering discipline. Some nice tech and interesting work available, though this is highly project-dependent. Positive attitude towards learning and development, such as training courses and conference trips. Decent pension and private medical insurance benefits. Traditionally given the choice of Christmas or New Year's week off as additional holidays, plus a small Christmas gift.

Kontras

Senior management are arrogant and crafty. Business focus is on a constant treadmill of acquisitions, some of which have been handled very poorly. Mediocre compensation, with minimal pay rises and bonuses compared to local competition. No real incentive to perform highly, unless £5 Amazon vouchers are your thing. New executive leadership axed full WFH and summer hours benefits, so work-life balance is not as good as previous reviews would suggest. Poor excuse of a 'career framework', which means nothing in practice anyway. Goal setting, reviews, etc., are exercises in time wasting. The company is almost 30 years old and apparently still hasn't figured out some of the basics.

Thanks for the message and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the culture here at Perforce. With the latest acquisition, we crossed another plateau in growth and our processes need to evolve to support a larger organization. We are also updating a number of processes with AI. Thanks for leaving the message. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

I used to call this the best job I ever had, because I was well paid (for my title) and I felt like I was trusted to try new things for the first year or two. Unlimited time off is nice, but necessary for managing the constant stress. I wish I'd used a lot more of it. Free snacks are great and company outings can be nice. They keep acquiring companies, so working for such a big company can be a nice resume booster.

Kontras

Roles are poorly defined and the organization "runs lean," which means responsibilities keep growing until you're really underpaid for the work you do. Same for your coworkers. Instead of clear responsibilities, everyone kind of does everything until everything’s done. The amount of work ranges from 'a full plate' to just crushing. Bullies and bad actors thrive because they're encouraged to squeeze the people below them for more and more work. Some managers would be happiest with a small army of AI robots to do their bidding instead of people with goals and ideas. The disrespect ranges from the professional to the personal, but it's all ignored at the leadership level. Promotions are rare and raises do not keep pace with inflation. Department leadership is constantly reacting to the fancies of their bosses, rather than standing up for their teams, so people at the middle and bottom always have to scramble to keep up with unreasonable expectations.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the culture at our Minneapolis location. It is truly a fun environment with team and company outings, happy hour on Thursday's, social activities, a fun area with ping pong, video games, a golf simulator and much, much more. And you can't forget about the free snacks and community lunch provided to the entire location on Wednesdays. We work hard to make sure we offer competitive pay and benefits. We have promoted over 150 employees this year as the business continues to grow both through exciting acquisitions and organically. We have engaged in additional training for leaders at all levels to ensure we are engaging employees at every role and addressing any concerns that they have. I would love to have an opportunity to speak with you on a personal level to help understand where you feel we could improve. Thanks for leaving the post, ~Jim Cassens, CEO
