One of the more fulfilling moves I’ve made in my young career is joining Perficient. In my 9 months at the company, I’ve had the opportunity to help promote our work around cloud and DevOps by writing blogs, supporting sales, and attending industry events while witnessing how digital transformation will impact the future of our world.
As we near the conclusion of another productive year, you may be considering a career change. Whether it’s the pursuit of more fulfilling work, a desire for career growth, or the acquisition of more skills, Perficient’s continuous expansion into cloud and DevOps is uncovering greater opportunities for technical and sales talent alike. Research firm IDC predicts that these areas will see significant growth from 2017 through the end of the decade, with more and more organizations taking on dedicated digital transformation teams, adopting cloud-only platforms, and buying into cloud services.
Though we are one of many firms to choose from, there are elements that set us apart. Some of the things that I particularly enjoy about Perficient are:
- The ability to work with Global 2000 firms, which include household names and brands that we use every day, including those in the retail, automotive, and financial space.
- The ability to work directly with key partners and industry innovators, including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, Adobe, and Salesforce.
- The opportunity to travel around the country while also maintaining a good work-life balance.
- The close relationship with sales, which enables both technical and business colleagues to directly influence the direction of the company.
Vishal Rajpal, Perficient’s general manager of Hybrid Cloud Integration and DevOps, sums it up nicely: “Those who join Perficient are exposed to multiple technologies including Big Data, analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud.” Many see an increase in their skills and work with senior business leaders to drive technology strategy and create innovative solutions to solve the most complex business problems.”
Every day, I enjoy the ability I have to influence thought leadership. As the industry shifts on a regular basis, colleagues are strongly encouraged to lend their voice through the writing of blogs and guides, further building a personal and professional brand while positioning Perficient as a leader.
“We’ve seen increased awareness of what we do based on the work of our colleagues”, Rajpal notes. “Many of our existing customers remark on the insights and leadership which our teams bring to guide them to executing some of their most critical technology projects.”
