Pros

Wear jeans to work Health/Wellness programs Great PTO Okay 401k

Cons

This company has pieced itself together by acquiring many smaller companies (15 in the last 10 years). There is very little cohesion and a noticeable lack of vision. It's currently [as of Feb. 2016] privately owned by a private equity firm that goes into companies, builds them up, and then flips them. The feeling that we are constantly be polished so we look pretty while systemic issues go ignored is prevalent. The phrase "that's not my job" gets said quite a bit. While there are many great people, there are also many not so great people in key positions, and even hard workers fall into the apathetic funk that makes up the Deltek culture.

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
