What made you decide to work for Perficient? What makes you stay and want to do your best work?
In all honesty, I ended up at Perficient serendipitously. I was working through a temp agency and was sent to Perficient as a file clerk back when we had an office in Austin, Texas. The assignment was only for six weeks, but after the initial timeframe, I stayed on and was eventually hired. I left the company but returned about a year and a half later. I stayed because I like the culture fostered at Perficient and I have always been treated with professional respect, even when I was just a temporary file clerk.

Healthcare and life sciences organizations are increasingly focused on equity. How are you seeing DE&I addressed in your work and in the industry?
Many of my colleagues are doing great work addressing DEI with our customers! They are utilizing their industry and technical expertise to build inclusive care pathways, messaging strategies, and digital transformation initiatives for our clients.
In addition, I have been thrilled to see Perficient’s Bright Paths Program unfold. I look forward to our company’s continued success in bringing STEM opportunities to underrepresented groups and collaborating with current and future Bright Paths graduates at Perficient.
