Pros

Get to travel a lot Some very good people work for Perficient Never had any issue with taking pre-planned vacations / holidays Will be able to work in multiple client settings, varied experience

Cons

Cutthroat, honestly seems to be in short supply among many employees who are primarily concerned with personal advancement Billing is the only thing important, developing careers, placement of right person in right position is only important if it meets the needs of Perficient, NOT of the employee's career desires or interests 1/3 of bonus is withheld and paid at the end of the next 6 month cycle, ends up seeming like a tool to improve retention Perficient has higher turnover rates than other consulting firms All offices function in different fashions and many projects staffed by multiple offices. Causes a lot of "well, it is their project" responses when issues arise with projects/client/internal management.

Pros

Really flexible schedule and work environment for on-shore employees.

Cons

Its a conglomerate of small specialized consultancies acquired and merged over time. It was bought out by private equity in 2024 and taken off the public market. The new CEO is from Accenture. Salaries haven't gone up for over 2 years. Anyone who has been able to get one has it in the form of a 1-year retention bonus. In other words, you have to give it back if you leave before the years up. Up to 5 changes in direct supervisor in the past 6 months. Even if you have a good boss their advocacy means nothing for your career at the moment. With the new CEO and rebrand came a full tilt pivot into AI. The plan boils down to using AI to figure out the plan to become more profitable using AI. In theory, this is circular logic gen ai is ill equiped to handle. In execution, this leads to uncapped token usage with no guarantees of profit.
