Pros

Perficient is a growing company. There are ambitions to become a $1 billion company and they are very aggressively chasing that goal. That means there is always something going on and office jobs are stable, even if consultants job aren't.

Cons

The company doesn't care about its people. It was the last company I know of that still had people going into the office throughout the coronavirus outbreak, and leadership continued to ignore the situation despite plummeting morale and the fact that they were ignoring advice from the CDC and government and putting the entire St Louis community at risk. The most frustrating part of the company is they insist that Perficient is people driven, but the top leadership of the company is dismissive of the concerns of everyone throughout. Recent changes made by the COO have involved no consultation with others and have meant people are left doing jobs inefficiently and have been taken away from doing more important things, which would be easily avoidable if those in power just listened to the people doing the work. Events regularly get canceled because they're supposedly a waste of time even though they also try to brag about the odd event they don't cancel and insist the culture is important. Maternity leave only became a benefit last year, and it's still only two weeks, which is pathetic and archaic. The leaders still patted themselves on the back about it and ignored that this wasn't enough because they are all old men making big money that don't understand regular people's lives. Benefits are below average in general and way behind the times in the IT industry.

Thank you for your service and we hope to find a way to turn your experience around. We recommend talking candidly with your leadership, sending an email to glassdoor@perficient.com, or speaking confidentially to HR. Please know the health of our Perficient community - with employees at the foundation of that - has always been our top priority and continues to be so. All of our offices have individually complied with all CDC and WHO regulations and guidelines, mandating work from home when it was recommended to. Leading up to that, we always offer flexible work or remote work as the role allows and stocked offices with hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes as soon as there was concern. If you have suggestions for anything else we can do to make employees feel comfortable, we invite you to share as we all continue to navigate the pandemic and our business continuity plan to any of the channels listed above. All of the COO's initiatives are based around creating efficiency and are regularly reported on company-wide and the additional maternity benefit you mention is a direct result of employee feedback. We hope there is a way to help turn your perspective around and open the chance to do so.

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.
