Pros

There are flexible working hours and most Deltek employees work remotely from a home office. Deltek doesn't focus on a 9-5 mentality.

Cons

As other reviewers have identified, Deltek has lost focus and ability to deliver product to market. Part of the issue is old technology - they have never taken the time to address an outdated, bloated database structure or other product issues that will prohibit them from market growth. The larger issue is their relentless focus on outsourcing work to the Phillipines. They lay off employees with long tenure and replace them with offshore workers. There was a layoff of 100+ employees in November 2012 and another layoff of 100+ in January 2013. Many of the employees that were let go will be replaced by offshore counterparts with less experience and knowledge. Deltek has experienced quarterly layoffs for years but the more recent ones have been substantially larger and have appeared to target those with longer tenure. Finally, Deltek does not believe in investing in it's people. They do not offer career paths, training or educational support. It's a place to collect a paycheck, not a place where you are excited about the product or the company.

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
