Svantaggi
A huge job creator... In the Philippines. 2 major layoffs in the US within 3 months - mid-November 2012 - 100+ employees axed and mid-January 2013 - 100+ more people were let go. Severance benefits - until the 30's of the month of the lay off - that is for 2 weeks after the date of the lay-off. Do not believe HR propaganda about education benefits - they do not exist. If you are trying to get a certificate/degree and get reimbursed by Deltek afterwards - forget about it - 99.5% that your manager will tell you that "This is not in the budget for this year." A lot of secrecy and politicking between Director level management and above. A lot of CYA attitude. Do not believe that your tenure with Deltek will provide for more job security. Surprisingly - more time you spend with them makes you more vulnerable. The Executives' logic is simple - he is more experienced, therefore more expensive to keep. We would rather can him and hire a person in the Philippines to do his job 12 hours per day for $200 per month (if that). Poor benefits - health and otherwise.
