Life at Perceptive Software:

Some people like starched collars and power ties. They enjoy nicknames like "cog in the wheel" and "just a number." They prefer working in silos rather than a free-flowing environment. We don't know any of these people. Because at Perceptive Software, our success is rooted in teamwork, communication and respect.Picture And we're pretty fond of our khakis —no starch.  Perceptive Software employees have voted it one of Kansas City's Best Places to Work five times, making Perceptive one of only three Kansas City companies to receive the Kansas City Business Journal award five times. Our employees like working here because they're encouraged to contribute their talents and initiative in many ways and are supported by a fundamental philosophy of teamwork. As the company grows, we stay focused on serving our customers' needs and everyone is entrusted with that core responsibility. Every meeting, phone call and e-mail is an important opportunity to strengthen relationships and make a direct impact on the company's success. At Perceptive Software, how we collaborate is as important as the products we develop. Our team is effective because we support and learn from each other. We challenge employees to look beyond job descriptions in developing and supporting our leading software technology. Everyone has a key role in creating a successful product and in maintaining our high level of customer satisfaction. We value insight from all areas of the company, as well as from our customers and partners, to help us create the most useful tools that make jobs easier.
