      Not a bad place to work...

      Pros

      Good opportunities. Company is growing. Most of the people here are good people and have a team mentality. There are very strong and talented people here, so you stand to learn from them if you end up working with them on a project. Most middle management seem to care about their people.

      Cons

      Groups are siloed due to acquisitions. Base salaries are below market rate and you are told that the bonus plan makes up for that gap. The bonus plan rewards those who work/bill long hours and travel. So if you want a personal or family life, you are penalized by qualifying for a smaller bonus. It is a service company so your career aspirations will not always be top priority if they conflict with project and client needs. Internal support is not that great. Expense reporting policies are extremely rigid and the corporate expense dept seems overworked. They end up making mistakes, losing your receipts and you end up being penalized for it. I've had $4000 expense reports withheld from my paycheck because they could not find a $10 parking receipt. Their internal processes are not setup to scale as the company grows.

      Perficient is a place to work

      Pros

      The people at Perficient are great. Not only are they fun, but extremely competent. Also, there does seem to be ample opportunity for advancement. The leaders of this company really seem to want us to succeed. They are very good about understanding family issues and occasional needs for time off. It's definitely exciting to work with such high caliber people. When they acquired the company I used to work for, they didn't reduce any of the workforce. They just assimilated us in.

      Cons

      It's a high stress job. Lots of pressure to excel.

      Worth an application, but if you value your employees don't sell your company to them!

      Pros

      If you enjoy frequent changes of scenery (clients), then consulting and Perficient may be a good fit for you. Corporate growth is weighted heavily toward acquisition of smaller localized companies, with little to no motivation to hire. Hiring seems to be the responsibility of the local office. This can mean that as an acquired employee, you can get the benefits of a larger company like Perficient while staying with the peers and managers you're used to at your smaller company; or as someone applying, you'll get good local attention instead of a form letter from someone on the other side of the country. The company will allow an expense credit to cover smart-phone data plans; though perhaps this is a con as you are then always available. Local low and mid-level management come from the small company atmosphere of pre-acquisition and are amazing people: Fun and rewarding to work with and for.

      Cons

      Likewise, as Perficient is so large and constantly acquiring more businesses, you can start to feel unimportant. Training budgets are meek, if existent at all, and commitments for training/conferences are rarely far enough in advance to make comfortable travel plans. Policies are rigid and constantly prove that there is little to no compassion for the employee -- everything is about the company's bottom line. Overhead of being a consultant -- time sheets, expense reports, etc. -- is worse than market average. Company-wide "required-attendance" meetings are held at times convenient to corporate, regardless of whether or not they are convenient for local employees; often requiring employees to stay hours late in order to attend. Instead of overtime pay or flex-time, we have a billable bonus program -- a bonus based on % of workable hours that are billable -- that, harking back to the no compassion for the employee point, makes employees feel overworked and under appreciated. Instead of selling to match employee skill sets, employees are very subtly threatened to learn skills they don't want in order to keep their jobs. Lastly, Lotus Notes! Yuck! We are "an IBM shop" but does that mean we need to choose an inferior product? It's no wonder that approximately a quarter of our acquired employees quit within the first year or two, including our former CEO/owner. I suspect more (*cough*) would if the job market was better right now.
