Daugherty Business Solutions Software Engineer Reviews

Pros

You get to work with large companies on interesting projects with some cool people. Daugherty provides moderate training and also some level of support in your engagement so you are not on your own.

Cons

Level of support you receive is less than that of other Consulting firms I have worked at. Daugherty acknowledges internally they aren't doing as well as they used to because we are mostly remote now and that isn't all figured out. Some of the personalities at Daugherty hard difficult to work with and Daugherty doesn't seem to prioritize that. The clients are too large, they're almost exclusively Fortune 500 companies which are way behind on their tech practices and are hiring you to Staff Aug, not bring them up to speed.

Pros

Some really smart people work here Theres a high variety of experience in the talent pool Healthcare insurance is very nice Flexible in dealing with employee life events

Cons

Seems like you may get curtained off from areas of development you want to work in to grow your resume based on the client you get placed in. Good dev resources are available but you'll have to work around your client engagement if you want to benefit from any of it. You may be put into positions you're not entirely familiar with the tech on while the client is under the assumption you're an "expert" PTO system could use some work

Pros

Medical insurance was great, the $0 deductible was nice.

Cons

A lot of my cons have been mentioned here already, but it really feels like you're working for your client rather than Daugherty - if I wanted to work for a client, I would do it directly. This means you have to keep track of 2 emails, calendars, laptops, etc. PTO is a joke and added onto it; if your client (that you don't get to choose) has a holiday or the Daugherty office is "closed" you HAVE to use your PTO. So if you have a vacation or are sick, that counts against you, and you may have to go negative. Compensation is much lower than the industry average. Especially for the work you're doing and the number of hours per week they expect from you 40hrs at client + extra hours doing Daugherty learning. Even this far into the pandemic they refuse to embrace remote work. Most of the ERG events were halted and put on hold "until we get back in the office". Your manager is dependant on which client you're at. So you have to start over when you get a new client as well. Communication is terrible. I never knew I was being switched to a new client or team until the last day I was on that project. They want you to sell Daugherty as much as possible to the client, and clients always remark on how expensive Daugherty is. Yet your salary doesn't reflect that. Staff augmentation is exactly what they do. Especially at home depot. People will be there for years, yet still, work for Daugherty.
