Pros

Customer projects are diverse and interesting. There was some work-life balance at different stages of delivery projects. Some colleagues we great to work with. It's trying to improve but I doubt it will be able to scale with its current mindset.

Cons

My two years at Perficient were a roller coaster. People left in droves over the past years due to Perficient's draconian policies and very short project runway. When projects are low, they let people go, even their best people, and the rest that remain have to constantly pick up the pieces. Over time, those that are left that are not in the same league one would expect of a solid consulting firm, and do whatever is possible to keep their jobs. The practice leadership is made up by mostly people with liberal arts degrees that have limited understanding or appreciation of technology and true consulting management. In the West Coast, where I worked, the culture was very tribal, the leadership is made up of old girls and boys network, and their friends, that came from NTT Centerspace, who give each other preferential treatment for billable work and promotions. Others come and go, but those in the tribe are always safe.

Pros

They give you a free backpack with the logo on it.

Cons

When given an assignment you'll have to Google the client's name because it will be somebody you've never heard of. Almost all of the work was either B2B or healthcare/financial services and the projects they did win were usually under-bid and under-estimated. Employees aren't given performance reviews and the rare salary increases didn't keep up with inflation. The company seems to grow mostly by acquiring smaller agencies and then scaring off their existing clients until the most talented employees resign one by one, leaving the company an empty shell of its former self.

Pros

Big company, average benefits. ...really struggling with anything more than that,

Cons

Perficient acquired our company, which was 30 years old and had just had it's best year. Within two years, our now "business unit" is about to be shut down. Almost 80% of the employees have left since the acquisition. Perficient does not care. They made that clear over and over again. They gobble up businesses to get them on their books. Enough acquisitions, you can have a few fail and it wont make a dent. But, that "failure" they caused was a wonderful, culturally awesome, talented, amazing company. Perficient management completely ran it into the ground.
