Filings state the offered base salary at time of application; equity and bonus are not recorded, and visa-sponsored hiring skews toward larger employers and technical roles — this page describes Perficient's visa filings, not its whole workforce. Employer names are normalised from filing entities, so figures cover the filing entity named above. We take no payment from employers for how any figure is presented, and corrections are welcome at press@salaryalmanac.com.
