We’re honored to share that Perficient has been named a 2026 USA Today Top Workplace, earning national recognition for our people-driven culture. This award celebrates our colleagues whose curiosity, integrity, and bold thinking make Perficient Different. For real.
Our culture is built by our people, who are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion and belonging where every individual can thrive personally and professionally. With more than 7,000 global colleagues, we collaborate across borders, challenge assumptions, and learn through hands-on experience. This award underscores the pride our people take in the lasting impact we create for our clients, communities, and each other.
Behind the Top Workplace Recognition
The USA Today Top Workplace awards are based completely on colleague feedback. Our U.S. colleagues previously shared their perspectives through a voluntary survey conducted by Energage, an employee and research technology company. The results were evaluated against national Top Workplace benchmarks, measuring colleague engagement and cultural alignment.
This recognition reflects the real experience of our people and the role they play in building a supportive, high-impact culture. Being named a 2026 USA Today Top Workplace marks our fourth consecutive year of national recognition and reinforces our commitment to creating a place where colleagues can grow, connect, and contribute to meaningful work.
Our people make us who we are, and how we deliver solutions and treat our clients are what allows us to feel the Perficient pride. We value our people and spend significant time focusing on our colleagues and clients because they are the foundation of everything we do.” – Lisa Hunter, Director, Sitecore and Optimizely

Empowering a Future-Ready, AI-Fluent Workforce
We continue to invest in our people by building career development around real work that strengthens the skills needed to stay ahead in the AI era. Through hands-on experience and targeted learning, we support growth at every career stage while reinforcing an AI-first mindset grounded in practical application.
At Perficient, we approach AI with purpose by leading with it when it adds value and recognizing when it does not. That level of thoughtfulness is part of what sets us apart.” – John Vylasek, Senior Solutions Architect, Data and Analytics
This approach comes to life through our Global AI-First Academy. Designed to equip colleagues with the capabilities and confidence to succeed in an AI-driven market, the Academy prioritizes hands-on learning across four core areas: AI technology, professional and consulting skills, project management and delivery excellence, and leadership development.
Within the Global AI-First Academy, colleagues have access to LinkedIn Learning, where role-specific courses build relevant skills and help apply AI in day-to-day work. Beyond this learning program, we offer in-demand technology certifications and continue to expand learning initiatives across our focus areas in collaboration with our technology ecosystem partners.
Building Community, Inclusivity, and Belonging
Our global colleagues bring diverse perspectives and expertise that strengthen Perficient’s culture and drive better outcomes. That belief fuels our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, shaping a workplace where colleagues listen and respect every voice.
We put that commitment into practice through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Innovation Groups (IGs). These communities connect colleagues across backgrounds and regions to share expertise, exchange ideas, and grow leadership skills through purpose-driven collaboration. Whether colleagues are interested in giving back, advancing well-being, or exploring emerging technology, there’s space for everyone to get involved and build lasting connections.
Even in the age of AI, our human experience remains our greatest value. When we create and nurture safe environments where people feel they belong, we foster innovation, improvement, and collaboration.” – Erika Ibarra, Senior Technical Architect, Product Development
One example of this in action is our Women in Technology (WiT) ERG, which brings women and allies together to share ideas, build skills, and support one another’s growth. Through mentorship and candid conversations, WiT fosters career development while advancing gender equality and helping shape a more inclusive future in technology.
It’s the people that make Perficient what it is. I love being part of a team with strong female leaders who create space for collaboration and support. The culture here is empowering, credible, and driven by people who truly care.” – Jill Boisvert, Project Manager, Salesforce

Creating Positive Change in Our Communities
United by a shared sense of purpose, our colleagues use their time and expertise to strengthen the communities where we live and work. Our community engagement initiatives focus on advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and improving health and well-being.
These priorities drive our global volunteering initiatives, philanthropic partnerships, and programs that expand opportunity and empower the next generation of technology leaders. By applying our skills where they have the greatest impact, we help build brighter, healthier futures around the world.
