Pros

Nice peers and immediate supervisors. Ability to forge long term relationships. Looks good on the resume. Gives a lot of valuable skills.

Cons

A huge job creator... In the Philippines. 2 major layoffs in the US within 3 months - mid-November 2012 - 100+ employees axed and mid-January 2013 - 100+ more people were let go. Severance benefits - until the 30's of the month of the lay off - that is for 2 weeks after the date of the lay-off. Do not believe HR propaganda about education benefits - they do not exist. If you are trying to get a certificate/degree and get reimbursed by Deltek afterwards - forget about it - 99.5% that your manager will tell you that "This is not in the budget for this year." A lot of secrecy and politicking between Director level management and above. A lot of CYA attitude. Do not believe that your tenure with Deltek will provide for more job security. Surprisingly - more time you spend with them makes you more vulnerable. The Executives' logic is simple - he is more experienced, therefore more expensive to keep. We would rather can him and hire a person in the Philippines to do his job 12 hours per day for $200 per month (if that). Poor benefits - health and otherwise.

Pros

Good culture and supportive coworkers One thing that stands out is that employees repeatedly talk about the people being collaborative and easy to work with. For CSM teams especially, there are comments about low internal drama and strong teamwork.

Cons

Morale dips after layoffs: Common issue in enterprise SaaS. Remaining employees sometimes inherit extra accounts or responsibilities after reductions. Internal communication can get corporate/vague. Employees sometimes mention leadership messaging during reorganizations feels polished but not fully transparent. Career growth uncertainty during restructures: When leadership changes or teams merge, promotions and advancement
