Can someone connect working at A&M CPI practice?
Hi all,
I have a offer from Perficient and joining in 2 months time. Question :
1: how is the company in terms of job security and projects? I work with web analytics
2: How is the hike and work life balance.
3: Attrition rate
4: Hike is good but will it be a safer vet like Accenture Operations?
Need some views from people working there.
Thanks in advance.

Why not talk to him about this in a polite fashion? Sometimes people think that there is nothing to do because it’s someone else’s job. Also, there might be something going on that you aren’t aware of.
I tried he brushes me off
I learned recently to delegate tasks and enforce ownership of work streams with deadlines. Then have a 15-20 briefing call in the morning to see if any barriers/blockers are present to deal with them. If they miss the deadlines, track it and communicate those delays to the manager. If done correctly, you’ll look proactive and can document either the project being 1) not resourced well enough or 2) the associate isn’t meeting expectations. Doing this also gives you plenty to document reviews with (for praise or improvements)

more managers need to do this!
If talking to him doesn't help, move him on to a new project to expand his experience...
Have you provided some feedback to him? It's not your fault if someone isn't meeting expectations so long as the expectations are reasonable and communicated clearly.
Rising Star
You gotta sit him down and set expectations. He may think he's doing what's asked of him. Give him some guidance.

I was scheduled with an unproductive associate recently. It wasn’t great, but I had enough documented and gave that negative evaluation within a week being done. Unfortunately, this associate will probably get out on a PIP before getting fired in part due to DEI considerations
Enthusiast
Is PIP not standard before firing? I would think the firm would try to help improve their talent. I wouldn’t call that special DEI treatment…..
If there are additional facts, I’d recommend saying so in the future before coming off as casually racist

I switched roles recently took a step down title wise
I pray That I’m better than this guy but from what you’ve told me I think I might be
Enthusiast
Clear and simple - if you haven’t given negative / constructive feedback, then he’s “doing great”. You aren’t doing them any favors by not coaching. There is a long path between feedback and getting fired.
Rising Star
What type of role is it?
Update - I tried talking to him and he shuts me down and tells me he’s “busy”
Maybe he looks down on me since I’m not an associate and I’m a senior consultant ?
Have a meeting with him to ask him what his key skills are on the project and what he excels in. Maybe you can allocate a different workstream to him to see if that works. Be respectful but take no BS - you are likely more experienced than him, so he needs to respect you, and follow your requests, and do the actual job he's paid to do otherwise you will be pulling the all-nighters to cover his lack of work.
