Pros

Great place to start a sales career. Flexibility with work/life balance Free breakfast

Cons

There are too many cons that I can't even list out. If you are considering being an SDR I would say look somewhere else. They will not promote within and I have seen many SDR stay for 3+ yeard without getting an opprtunity to be promoted. They have an SDR Advancement Program which is a LIE! I know more than 6 people who passed the program and all of them left Deltek because they knew they would never get promoted. THEY PAY THEIR SDR's CHEAP! It is the LOWEST salary compared to other companies in Oregon. The culture in Deltek specifically in the Portland office is the most toxic place. The employees are great but it's the upper management that needs to be changed. Sales managers do not care about your success and will not promote unless you brown-nose your way up to promotion. Lastly, if you look at all the Account Executives and Sales Managers there is ABSOLUTELY no diversity. They are mostly all white males and then if you look at the lower positions such as SDR it becomes more diverse but no promotions. THATS A HUGE PROBLEM!

We take this feedback seriously, and our leadership team is committed to investing in every team member – that includes examining compensation, supporting a diverse workforce and empowering each employee to own their career. Our SDR program has seen a lot of success – we’ve promoted over 30 SDRs into other parts of the organization, promoted by title, or promoted by compensation since starting the program in 2020. We are sorry your experience hasn’t reflected that or met your expectations. We embrace transparency and would welcome the opportunity to have an open conversation with you about your experiences. If you are comfortable, please reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner to discuss.

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
