Great people, stressful when no work

Pros

The people you work with are great. It's a very relaxed environment and everyone is pretty good at working together.

Cons

Due to the agency setting, it sometimes gets stressful if a lot of work doesn't come in. There's a lot of pressure to stay billable but often times not enough work in the pipeline to do so. Management tries to give off the impression that they're transparent and open with everyone but then will go through rounds of layoffs without any heads up to effected teams.

Horrible

Pros

Very little other than a reasonable base salary

Cons

Horrible Absolutely horrible….I am not sure if all the projects at Perficient are as bad as the one I was on but the one I was on was the worst experience that I’ve had in my entire career. I was told that it was a “career opportunity” which was completely deceptive. They had nothing more than a body shop mentality and there was absolutely no one who was even remotely responsible for managing consultant career paths. In reality I was just hired for a project and beyond that there was no career at all. Onboarding was an absolute nightmare and it was expected that you would do it on your own time. The environment was hostile and completely unsupportive. They were also very deceptive about the benefits particularly with regard to their PTO. If you don’t watch it closely you will lose the time you’ve accrued due to the quarterly and hourly accrual limits.

A true meritocracy and strong attention to work/life balance

Pros

Almost endless career development / progression opportunities. There are never any barriers to progression or even completely changing your career track - if the marketplace / business is there - the opportunity for anyone is there. There are few / if any politics involved. Personalities will always exist and are an exciting part of any company - but career progression and personal success is based on merit. There has been consistent attention to culture and employee environment development through regular employee feedback surveys. I've seen first hand that the survey results are carefully categorized and improvement initiatives kicked off and tracked.

Cons

Consulting is not for everyone. It can be more challenging, faster moving and stressful than a corporate IT job. Still - you'll learn a lot more and progress a lot faster in a consulting oriented job. Perficient often does acquisitions and this can create some 'melding' time. Sometimes this can be challenging when you have an entire company of highly entrepreneurial, type A personalities. But teams work through this consistently well and it keeps the company culture from stagnating as it grows.
