Fast paced environment, hot space, talented employees - Anonymous employee Perspecsys Employee Review

I came to Perspecsys a little over a year ago from a large corporation. My passion to join the Perspecsys team was driven by a curiosity and thirst for knowledge of cloud security. That passion continues today because of the way we go about our business and how we work with our customers. What we do is hard, and our approach to a very challenging problem helps solve real issues facing the world today. Solving that problem with integrity, intelligence, and compassion creates a burring desire inside that is hard to find. If you have the desire to be on the cutting edge and create new markets, then Perspecsys is for you.

This is a fast paced, challenging environment that pushes you to be creative and insightful. Things change in an instant, and if you cannot keep up, well then, you can't keep up...

The product and what PerspecSys is doing appears to be exciting and wonderful from an outsider's perspective.

- the company name is a mouthful - the company is badly managed and your ideas are really heard or acknowledged - if you're a good employee and try to help the company by working on a public holiday to help the clients meet their deadlines don't expect management to give you time off, you really have to fight to get time off - within your team the management doesn't like to give you time (unscheduled vacation - something comes up) off they'll say something like "sort it out amongst yourselves" - whatever marketing says about the product there are large challenges and the company doesn't really communicate that to the customer; in many cases the customers are surprised when they realize that the product is configuration nightmare - developers call undocumented configurations "ninja features" which is a cute way of saying it's hacked into the product and there is no documentation surround this. - 11 hour work days are the norm for months on end as you try to integrate PerspecSys software into client environments - poor planning on sales and management and the poor worker bee has to carry the weight of mistakes and failure to communicate from the higher-ups
