Seemingly on the decline for US based employees

Pros

1 - no commute (for remote workers) 2 - salary is in line with industry average (although don't count on long term employment, due to constant 'rounds' of layoffs, sometimes even of great and essential employees), regardless of the department. 3 - Senior Management seems to have some really good people in place in some departments

Cons

-Most of middle management doesn't have a clue about what lower level employees do on a daily/hourly basis. Middle managers are churned through, changing constantly. As a result, good employees are often let go while bad employees (the brown-nosers) remain. -New products are designed and developed with a 'fly by the seat of the pants' approach. As a result, consequences are rarely proactively considered. -Internal process can be non-existent, so be prepared to guess a lot, then be wrong half the time (when it's convenient to be blamed for something that goes wrong, you will probably be blamed). -Sales makes promises that they aren't sure can be kept, seemingly just to get sales without regard to reality. -The support team is treated like non-exempt employees and/or exempt employees depending on which way the wind is blowing. -Since most employees work from home, Deltek often assumes/expects employees to be at home and available for work even outside of working hours. -Many employees in all departments work and act every day as though their own jobs are on the line, which breeds a C.Y.A. style of work and the default is to do what is best for yourself, to protect your own skin, as opposed to what is best for the customers (and ultimately for the company). Even if it means working harder and not smarter.

WORST company I've ever worked for!

Pros

The company allows you to work from home.

Cons

This is the WORST company I've ever worked for! Their suite of products is a mish-mash of no-good products. Engineering is so under-staffed that one wonders what ever gets done. Account Management is only interested in selling to the customer and not taking care of them. Education department has outsourced pretty much everything. Their customer care department is more of a DON'T CARE department, only interested in upselling to clients. Professional services is virtually outsourced to partners. All the company cares about is the revenue - they dont care about the customers nor the employees or products. In the last 5-6 years, what Deltek has done successfully is get rid of all their long-time and most valuable employees. There is no work-life balance; very stressful environment, with layoffs every quarter. Deltek is a sweatshop. The executives set it up to be sold to new investors, cashed out and left. The rest of the employees were chewed up and spat out.

Sad to see it go downhill

Pros

Flexible work schedule, great people

Cons

Oh where to begin? I was laid off in the November round (great timing, guys!) and while I was sad to leave, I'm glad I'm gone. Deltek was a good company in it's day, but that day is done. The new management that has taken over doesn't care what you do or what you know, it's how much you cost. We already went through that cycle with New Mountain and it's quarterly layoffs for a few years and it was incredibly depressing. There's no new development taking place with Costpoint or GCS and I feel sorry for the customers who pay for it. Somewhere there's another company out there ready to take over the market share. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. All the outsourcing to Makati will come back and bite them. The people are nice but they don't have a work ethic like in the US. The QC estimates are crazy high and it takes them 3 times as long to test something as a US worker does.
