Actions over words
Ever notice when someone leaves Perf, they become “somebody I used to know.” I rarely see Perf employees supporting former Perf employees on LinkedIn. No congrats on new jobs, promotions, life changes, etc. Is it that you don’t care about former... — read more
Tired of carrying teams with off shore/near shore resources
All the technical projects I work on have 1 US based resource and 3-5 offshore/nearshore resources. This ends up being the US person doing all the work and trying to justify to the client why we need the other 3-5 devs who don't pull any weight but... — read more
F this place
Seriously. I’m so tired of losing coworkers and never hearing about them leaving. We act like they were never here or added value for years. Feels so immature. And it speaks directly to how our leaders feel about us.
SEC ANYONE?
With the stock price drop from July ‘23 til the sales announcement, could these be a reverse pump and dump? Did our leadership crash the stock value, pick up cheap shares, and then collect once the sales announcement has locked our overpriced... — read more
No straight answers
Employees First? Or “Bonus’s are XX% this year. Your total is $XX.” “Thank you, but $xx is not xx%, it’s maybe half of that. Why the discrepancy?” “Bonuses are a privilege.” “No, they are part of my comp plan. My bonus is 15%, 50% of that is... — read more
No severance paid by Perficient
Confirmed with two ex old timers. No severance.
Prepare for pink slips
Ya’lls jobs are going overseas. The job market absolutely $ucks, hope you enjoy ramen.
Perficient looking to be bought out or go private
Bloomberg 30-APR-2024 reports “Tech Consultancy Perficient to Weigh Potential Sale” Looks to go private or get bought out. Expect lots of cost headcount cuts if private equity buys Perficient. Good for executives and bad for everyday employees. A... — read more
Director position has an unofficial sales quota
Multiple directors have been hired and then fired in under two years in multiple business units. Those positions are in fact just sales positions with a quota. Not worth the career risk.
Long term vs short term projects skewed to short term projects
Ignore short term three month projects and you have few long term opportunities to grow your career. Success will be measured in how many multiple year long term projects Perficient gets. If they are all 100 percent offshore and a US BA, there is... — read more
New project model is 1 USA BA PM and all others offshore
New projects are USA pm, ba and maybe architect and all other offshore. Just like other low offshore consulting firms. USA people covering and fire fighting instead of working. Means no career path for USA resources below director level. All... — read more
Sales commission cuts, people are leaving
Holy smokes, new wondermind CEO has cut sales commission 60% and Director bonus’s were close to zero. Wonder why people are leaving??!! Clients are dropping us. Leadership here is a joke. This is what happens when “people first” talk is as far as... — read more
Technical Architect
Layoff with no severance - after 9 years of billing - no project or client means you are laid off. No diff bw FT or contract.
WHY DON’T WE TALK ABOUT LAYOFFS
Dear Senior Leaders - GROW UP. When we cut people, which is often and our own faults as leaders, why don’t we tell people?!? We act like resources just never existed. Amateur hour leadership.
Find high margins or lose your job
Estimating and margins are a complete rip-off here!! Sr management and BU leaders demand a minimum 52% margin. To achieve this, estimates use higher role/titles with high hourly rates and regularly assign lower roles at lower (below market) rates. ... — read more
Shoulders hurt
From patting ourselves on the back all day. Our stock price is poor and dropping. Flat / no growth earnings. Management is arrogant and delusional, way too cool to mentor or hang with the “billable” staff. Once the job market rebounds, we’ll see an... — read more
Why keep RIF’s secret?
I’ve been buried in a project and finally had time to reach out to a past project resource regarding some advice. Found out the person was let go months ago due to a project cancellation. These things happen, but why does our leadership stay so... — read more
Getting worse by the day
I thought moving into leadership would improve my career. But now that I see how shallow Dir’s and BU leaders are about their “resources”, I’m disgusted. This is not a People First organization.
Classless org
Openly working against team members to get them assigned to projects. Hours drop, so they call it a “separation”. Lost 401k and zero severance. This place is body shop, no matter how they like to spin the message. Friggin clown show now with DEI... — read more
Worst company if you are on OPT
Worst company to work for. The company has more directors who just keeps roaming without any communication for projects. It's pure body shopping. If they can't find suitable project they will just fire without any notice. Worst higher management who... — read more
Terrible Company for consultants
This is a company that hires when it has a project about to begin. Once the project is over your job is in jeopardy. If you are not on a project in a few weeks you will get a call saying it is your last day, no notice. They are no more than a body... — read more
WORST COMPANY TO WORK...
At Perficient, you are safe until you have projects, if not the employee will be terminated without any proper notice... Also there won't be any visibility about organization. Worst and risky place to work.
2014 Layoffs at Perficient
Next year will be brutal - HR is already discussing possible cuts together with the execs
It's getting worse
Morale is very low at Perficient - you cannot describe it. The cuts will come in 2014
At Perficient, CLIENT is everything, if you get one or two reviews that are worse than average you will be fired with No Notice and No Salary...
At Perficient, CLIENT is everything, if you get one or two reviews that are worse than average you will be fired with No Notice and No Salary and they only have few clients and mostly do time and material or staff augmentation projects. Every time... — read more
