Pros

Outstanding People & Culture: The team at Deltek is genuinely collaborative and supportive. I've found colleagues who are not only skilled professionals but also great people to work alongside every day. Meaningful Growth Opportunities: Leadership actively invests in employee development, providing opportunities that have allowed me to expand my skill set and take on increasingly challenging and rewarding projects. Technology Innovation Encouraged: One of the things I value most is the company's commitment to staying current with new technologies. I've been given the freedom to explore and implement innovative solutions, which keeps the work engaging and cutting-edge. Failure-Forward Environment: The "fail fast" mentality here is refreshing. Management understands that innovation requires experimentation, and they create a safe environment where calculated risks are encouraged rather than penalized. This approach has led to some of our most successful initiatives. Learning-Focused Culture: There's a genuine commitment to continuous learning. Whether it's new technologies, methodologies, or industry trends, the company supports and encourages professional development. Overall: Deltek has provided me with an ideal combination of professional growth, technological innovation, and a positive work culture. The leadership's trust in their employees to try new approaches and learn from both successes and failures has made this one of the most rewarding positions of my career. I'd highly recommend Deltek to anyone looking for a company that truly invests in its people and embraces forward-thinking approaches to business challenges.

Cons

High Volume of Responsibilities: Supporting customers, developers, and product management simultaneously means there's always a lot on your plate. The pace can be overwhelming at times, though the variety ensures you're never bored. Time management and prioritization become crucial skills.

Engaging Role with Solid Compensation, Though Benefits Could be Better

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Strong work-life balance policy with the flexibility to work remotely. 2. Very generous PTO and sick leave policies. 3. My role has lots of variety outside of my core job which keeps me engaged and learning new things. 4. Team culture is strong, supportive, and collaborative. 5. Deltek is always on the cusp of new technology and engages the employees to utilize it in their work, such as AI. 6. Satisfied with salary which feels fair for the responsibilities and market.

Cons

1. Health insurance for US employees could be more comprehensive. The plans rely heavy on pre-authorizations. 2. Recent layoffs have disproportionally affected US staff, while new jobs being created are mostly offshore in India. 3. Bonus structure for non-sales roles feels inequitable. Individual contributors have little control on the metrics that determine their bonus. 4. 401K is way below the standard for company matching, @ just 2% (the employer match is 50% of the first 4% of your total actual gross earnings). Average company match in the USA is @ about 4.6%!

Pros

Deltek is an awesome place to work! The company is at the forefront of AI development and integration in its products, which makes the work exciting and meaningful. I love the flexibility of working from home and being part of a diverse, global team of talented coworkers. My manager is fantastic—supportive, empowering, and always provides helpful guidance while trusting me to make decisions that move the project forward.

Cons

"If I had to name a con, it would be that I work a standard 40-hour week—but that’s expected for full-time employment anywhere. It’s a fair trade-off for the flexibility, great team, and meaningful work I get to do."
