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.

Honestly, I’d be out today. No chance I’d do a 4 hour commute every day without the possibility of staying local or working remote periodically
I'd plan on rolling off, tell leadership why and see if they will revise their earlier decision.
Yeah, I think I'll do this. Thank you!
If he firm said no to working remote or hotel for a 4 hour commute. How does this become a great project. I would gtfo immediately
Not only would I get out of there I would also get out of the firm
Is the distance further than your home to your main office?
Not sure about your firm but there should be a policy where you’re compensated for the extra commute if that’s the case.
yeah, I live like a 10 min walk from my local office. but apparently the cut off for compensation is 50 miles from client site and i'm 46 miles from client site, the traffic is just mad.
Roll off or ask to be considered a commuter and be allowed to stay near the site M-Th
Why not just travel weekly?
Good luck on your next performance review 😂
If you really like the project, I know a former colleague used to get an Airbnb near the client site and pocketed the mileage money to offset the cost. Sucks that your project won’t less you expense a hotel, but just an idea...
...... to be rolled off and risk going to a project / team that isn't this amazing but hopefully better for my life or should I just keep going on this project? Firm said no to a hotel near by or working remotely occasionally.
I guess it depends on where you are in your career and life. If you’re single it’s easier to cope with this than if you have kids. Not sure where you are, but is there an option to adjust your hours to make the commute better? Maybe come in around 5:30-6 and leave by 3-4?
No to this....it doesn’t matter “where you are in your career and life” - no one, regardless of this, should be expected or willing to commute 4hrs EVERYDAY for a “local” project. Either your project leadership offers you a hotel, or you find a new project.
Period. End of story. Happy 2020
You could try to roll off, but I would just suck it up and stay on the project. I did a 4 hour commute to all my projects for 3.5 years, just based on where I lived compared to where my clients were. That was the norm where i lived since most folks lived in suburbs a outside of the city. There was no pity from anyone on long commutes
M1, all clients aren't centrally located in a city center.
What firm?
Thank you for the Advice! One more thing, I'm new to consulting (4 months in) and pretty early in my career. Is it still okay to roll off?
