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.

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

Morale dips after layoffs: Common issue in enterprise SaaS. Remaining employees sometimes inherit extra accounts or responsibilities after reductions. Internal communication can get corporate/vague. 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
