Excellent place to work!

Pros

Employee-focused culture. There is a lot of top-down attention on ensuring Deltek is and remains a great place to work, with a structure to ensure high-performance is recognized and rewarded. Employees truly love what they do and who they do it for. There is a lot of enthusiasm internally for our products and innovations, as well as close contact with our customer base. It's an easy place to feel good about what you do every day. There is an ongoing commitment to remote work, while also ensuring there is space and opportunity for close, in-person, collaboration. This is great because it allows us to seek out the best talent nationally and internationally. Great benefits overall,

Cons

401k matching contribution is low. Surprising, because this is a great tax-advantaged benefit for both employee and employer. Plus, it incentivizes retention. Silos. The company has made progress, but there are parts of the organization that resist collaboration, and by extension innovation. There are too many teams "doing their own thing their own way" getting in the way of right-placing work and responsibility. Lots of duplicative technologies and processes. FlexTime. Paid-time off is not an earned benefit, so people either underutilize (most common) or abuse the vacation policy.

Pros

Deltek truly stands out when it comes to company culture. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and valued as part of the team. The leadership is supportive, transparent, and genuinely cares about employees' well-being and professional growth. There's a strong focus on work-life balance, and the collaborative, inclusive environment makes it easy to thrive. Deltek encourages innovation and gives employees the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to projects. It's clear that the company prioritizes a positive, respectful workplace where everyone can succeed. I’m proud to be part of such an amazing culture!

Cons

While Deltek offers a great company culture and supportive work environment, the salary for some positions could be more competitive. The compensation doesn't always align with the market rates for similar roles, which can be a drawback for employees who are looking for more competitive pay. This may be a concern for those who have extensive experience or are seeking higher compensation relative to the industry standard.
