Pros

My team was great. I loved working with my immediate team. I had lots of opportunities to grow professionally.

Cons

Last week the media reported on Perficient potentially being up for sale. At the end of last week, Tom sent an email to everyone about not trusting the media. This week Tom confirmed that the sale is happening. This is publicly available information. So, you know what's not a great look for any executive leadership team? Sending a scathing email about how you're essentially upset that somebody leaked to the press, and then within 48-72 hours later, announcing it officially. That says to me that someone or multiple people in your leadership organization don't trust you to make good decisions. Your leadership and that of your executive team failed to grow Perficient organically, and now you are selling them off because you don't know how to be profitable. The number one way staffing firms are profitable is by actually valuing your people. I'm glad I'm not there anymore, and sad that my former colleagues have to experience this kind of uncertainty in today's job market. My advice to everyone still there is to treat this time like your severance and find that new job asap. I look forward to the next fake positive review of Perficient to counter this one.

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.
