Pros

If you are young-ish (22-32), and you enjoy solving technical problems, you might enjoy working at Perficient. There is the potential for traveling to new places, seeing new things, and meeting new people. I can be exciting... which is no different than any other consulting firm. After many years at Perficient, I can say that they offer nothing any other consulting firm would offer; and probably not much less either. So, on the "Pros" side, it's average. They're an average company with average views, and pretty much average everything.

Cons

Zero career path. There exists no real future at Perficient. Executive leadership is concerned solely about top-line revenue, what the stock price is doing, and that is all. Despite the rhetoric and propaganda, leadership has zero interest in your career path and what YOU want to do with your professional life. They are solely interested in what you can do for them and they will manipulate you into thinking there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. There isn't. Half of your 401K is tied directly to the Perficient stock and you have no say in that. Take it or leave it. Hint: leave it. Zero organic growth. Perficient only grows by acquisition of other companies. It has horrible attrition and their hiring can barely keep up. Therefore, in order to attempt to stay competitive and give the illusion to the shareholders that Perficient is moving in the right direction, they purchase companies. That forces others to leave as well because they see a new flood of executives higher come into the company which means your career path is now even tougher. The top-line revenue and the stock price hasn't changed in six years. The company is going nowhere.

Pros

Very little outside of some of the people you work with. FTO is only nice if you have a manager who lets you use it. They did allow work from home, not sure if that is still the case.

Cons

This company was run poorly by Tom Hogan before private equity bought it but the buyout accelerated their decline. If you want to be a cog in the machine, this is the place for you. The leadership is only focused on themselves. They will praise you or throw you under the bus depending on how they feel it makes them look to their bosses. The employees who don’t have a stable long term project live in fear of being let go irregardless of talent and many of their most talented are leaving because they see the writing on the wall.
