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.

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
