Pros

They won't tell your job is in danger in advance until they schedule a zoom call of 2 mins

Cons

Perforce acquires profitable companies and just after acquisition they will pretend that acquired company is making loss and to maintain the profitability they will reduce the workforce of newly acquired company by 50%. On being asked about their plans to reduce the workforce, they have one liner answer "ALL THE EMPLOYEES WILL BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY".

I appreciate the post and unfortunately with many acquisitions we do have positions that are redundant. In any situation where employees are involved we want to make sure we provide every opportunity for them to find their next role. In this specific situation, we provided a generous transition period, counseling, resume reviews and transparent communication throughout the process. We wish you the best and are here to help if you need any assistance. ~ Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

Colleagues are good but not the management.

Cons

Toxic work culture and poor management. Managers rarely listen and tend to impose their decisions without discussion. There was no transparency — I was never informed about many things at the time of joining.Policies and rules keep changing every other week, creating confusion and frustration. Think twice before joining.

Thank you for posting. It is unfortunate to hear your experience at Perforce wasn't what you had hoped. It does sound like you were able to make some worthy connection with colleagues and that may have helped to expand your career development. We will look into your comments as we are always looking to continuously improve. I'm happy to meet with you 1 on 1 for a follow up if you are willing. It is our goal to provide a healthy culture that inspires our employees to greatness. I've received hundreds of comments from our Pune team about how happy they are, how encouraging the environment is and how the people are so collaborative. I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same. Good luck to you and if you do want to talk, please reach out to me directly. ~Jim Cassens, CEO

Pros

Very average organization. Low flexibility.

Cons

- Appraisals are a big disappointment. - Growth seems slow (no focus on employee growth), management should focus on it. When promoting an employee; only promoting title and not payscale.

Thank you for the comments. I will spend some time with our Pune location leadership team to discuss your concerns. As a company, we promoted nearly 200 people last year and that included both pay and title. We are focused on employee career growth and have brought on a new role this year to focus on company wide Learning and Development programs. We do hold annual Hack-a-thon for our engineering team, engage them in new technologies like AI, and hold regular Tech Summits with the engineering teams to expand their knowledge. I would encourage you to take advantage of all those opportunities. Our Pune office is one of the best locations with an inviting atmosphere, great people, and benefits. We also offer the flexibility to work in a hybrid fashion. It would be great to have a follow on conversation on how we could make our appraisal process better. Reach out to me on Slack or email. ~Jim Cassens, CEO
