Pros

Deltek was once a dynamic, fun place to work. Peers collaborated and worked with each other towards the goal of complete customer satisfaction. Most of those folks have been sent packing and replaced with folks who have no background or interest in the success of the clients.

Cons

Parker's management style is designed to ensure that he and his cronies get more than their share at the expense of the customers and their requirements and the rank and file employees The VP to employee ratio has to be approaching that of a bank - way too many chiefs and not enough workers. They can't make a decisoin and stick with it - there is perpetual analysis paralysis.

Pros

Good culture and supportive coworkers One thing that stands out is that employees repeatedly talk about the people being collaborative and easy to work with. For CSM teams especially, there are comments about low internal drama and strong teamwork.

Cons

Employees sometimes mention leadership messaging during reorganizations feels polished but not fully transparent. Career growth uncertainty during restructures: When leadership changes or teams merge, promotions and advancement
