Pros

Good Work/Life Balance Strong Work Remote Culture People Mean Very Well

Cons

Deltek produces chronically poor leadership. It's very effective at capping potential, so the best employees and leaders leave the company. It leaves a baseline of OK performers who sustain the company. There is little interest in innovating or making the products perform better. As a result none of the Deltek products are world class and are one disrupter away from irrelevance. Heavy bureaucracy that stifles productivity and produces of a culture of people doing the minimums daily.

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
