Pros

Solid pipeline of work coming into the Fargo office

Cons

The executive team of the Fargo office has been putting business ahead of their people since Sundog was sold to Perficient in May. Perficient promised a smooth transition since they are "so experienced at acquiring other companies" and they also promised no one would be fired as a result of the acquisition. Neither promise was kept, people where fired and onboarding was painful and done with outdated materials by a few years. Benefits overall are worse than when we worked for a small local company and this has impacted people's lives. To this day, Fargo employees that were acquired are kept at a substantially low salary than the rest of the perficient employees, despite management boasting about how much money is coming in. Corporate is more concerned about bringing in money and large projects than about retaining people. At the rate which people are quitting it will be hard to staff the new projects going in. Communication between employees and management is a joke. As a recent example, some big corporate people from perficient came to Fargo for an office-wide meeting that is held every quarter. In the 30 minutes that were reserved for Q&A, one of the big bosses took 25 minutes to talk about himself and his hobby as a DJ and left only 5 minutes for actual questions. Absolute disrespect for employees' time and their concerns.

It’s also why we have quarterly town halls, team meetings and regular 1 on 1’s to continually share important information throughout the acquisition process. We understand the changes can be overwhelming, which is why Perficient also has resources available to you to discuss your concerns directly.

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.
