Pros

The people are second to none. All coworkers were intelligent and great to work with. They truly care about their clients, products, and peers. I believe Perceptyx is going to be successful. The CEO seems open and honest, and is very professional in all circumstances. I think they have a good business model and potential to be a profitable organization for some time.

Cons

Outside of the people, there's nothing unique or special about working for Perceptyx. Its not a bad place to work, and I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid applying, Perceptyx is just a standard mid sized company at this point. No surprise to anyone, as they've grown significantly over the past few years and its difficult to keep small company perks. Pay is average. Previously wasn't an issue as benefits/bonuses made up for it, but unfortunately that's no longer the case. Benefits are ok, but the cost has increased significantly. Not unique to this company, but still an added expense. 401K match hasn't gone up since it was decreased during Covid. The bonus program was eliminated for anyone below a certain org level. What's the incentive for ICs to put in extra time to achieve company goals? Even though things didn't work out for me personally, I felt like the company cares about it's people. Surely these were tough decisions made in the best interest of the organization, However, important information for future candidates who come here looking for honest reviews. My biggest concern was upper management. Some put in leadership positions who many don't believe are qualified to be leaders. They don't speak up, or have minimal experience in the field they are supposed to be leading. Often overlook the feedback of subject matter experts, and base decisions on article's they've read or the opinion of whoever they talked to last. I also don't believe they are being held accountable. The organization has disciplined ICs that followed a poor plan implemented by their leader, instead of the leader who created and forced the implementation of that failed plan.

Cons

- Leadership direction is often unclear, making long-term alignment difficult - Product decisions change frequently and can feel reactive, leading to rework and lost momentum - Technology strategy lacks cohesion, with legacy and newer systems existing side by side without a clear adoption path - Adoption of newer internal tools and platforms has been inconsistent due to shifting priorities - Periodic organizational changes create instability and uncertainty for teams - Team structures and priorities are often reset before work has time to fully mature - Engineers are regularly asked to move quickly without enough context or confidence that priorities will remain stable
