Pros

HR paid out my vacation hours in a timely manner in my last paycheck

Cons

The 4 people in their Glassdoor home page banner are all laid off, or quit due to dissatisfaction. What does that tell you? Gross nepotistic politics, lack of strategic direction, incivility, disorganization, and general ineptitude. Perficient's best attribute and competitive advantage ought to be the end-to-end delivery of digital solutions through cross-functional business unit collaboration. However, any such collaboration is laughably underinvested, non-existent, ignored. One business unit will intentionally put unqualified people on a cross-functional project just so they can recognize the revenue. This is compounded by a good old boys leadership culture where a few key (but ineffective) people attempt to create a business strategy. Where marketing and HR doctor employee survey responses, or just skip them altogether in the years they don't want any feedback. Where billable hours are hidden or falsified by directors. Want to rise up the ranks? Great. Use your personal credit card to bill all your travel and expenses, and pay the interest while waiting for Accounting to reimburse you. Don't walk. Run.

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.
