Perficient reviews

Management team is not great - they lack the experience and wherewithal to make tough choices if it has any impact to their bottom line. This comes at the expense of you, the employee, from learning opportunities to values and eventually your integrity. The company has a great employee promise, however it is not actively followed. The expectation once you sign an employment contract is they own you: when you arrive in the office, when you leave the office, what doctors you should see, when and how often. There is no autonomy. Ex - I routinely had 5-10 meetings/ day (mostly phone calls) but the rare few that involved leaving my desk without letting my director know would result in a text message and/or phone call inquiring about my location and how long I would be away. Benefits are less than great - 3 weeks of vacation which includes any sick time/ mental health days you might want to take. Very expensive health insurance (for single individuals). 401k match is not great - they do at least half the match in their own stock.

- It's expected to go above and beyond because you have to stay up to date with skills, while delivering 40 hours at the client, head to team events, hosting brown bags every once in a while. It's a challenge - But when in quarterly reviews the difference between a "3" (average) and "4" (going above and beyond) has very little impact on bonuses - It's a little weird going to company events but work at the clients site with very few of them - Compensation is a little low and they know it. Bonus are small and somewhat random but 2-3% raises help some - Be a bit concerned if you're on the bench for more than a couple weeks because it's all about utilization rates. Quickly going from "Don't worry, use this time to learn a language you've wanted to." to "Sorry, but we're going to have to.." - Some clients required travel across the US for planning meetings, but the suggested weekend or night travel time wasn't recognized as hours worked
