Pros

Work from home. Great benefits and co-workers.

Cons

Oh god where to begin. Outdated technology with very little innovation. Incompetent managers with zero actual expertise in government contracting. Too many yes men and not enough subject matter experts.

Pros

Several opportunities to cut your teeth in new markets, strong product sets to leverage in terms of career development.

Cons

The work is, by nature, mundane and repetitive following a few weeks or months to adjust to the workload. Management seems intent upon focusing its energies on petty retribution rather than managing their workers effectively. Communication between teams and business units is either highly circumscribed, discouraged, or forbidden. Strong sense of groupthink that tends towards pandering to unrealistic or unpredictable management - not uncommon in the corporate world, but brought to a troubling extreme here. Many employees, even the cheerful ones, also seem mildly afraid.

Pros

Very few good reasons to work for Deltek. The grounds surrounding our building are lovely, but beyond that I can think of no positive things to say.

Cons

*Human Resources completely unavailable and unresponsive to staff/employees. Rather they are completely focused squarely on management. What management says, goes. Employees do not have a voice, a say, or recourse. *Sr. Management Staff is woefully misguided in their leadership and people skills. There are so many incompetent managers it is difficult to imagine how this happened. * Sr. Management offers no mentoring, no guidance, no feedback, no information-sharing. And if there is a problem? Watch out. I've seen management put new employee on plans within a few months of employment. Huh???? Management operates with fear tactics and employees are terrified to take a stand. *Little flexibility in work/life balance. They are MORE than happy for you/me to work 50-60 hour weeks. With no extra compensation or comp days. However, God forbid you leave 30 minutes early one day. They will dock your pay. I've seen this time and time again. This was the final stra for me. I left because the company is heartless in its treatment of employees. I tell all of you: BEWARE.
