Pros

You learn a great deal of skills and some people are nice. Benefits have improved.

Cons

Communication is terrible and management doesn't really care. Despite complaining about it nothing changes. The workload is excessive, with constant last minute projects with short a short time to do it. Expect to work long hours and have very little consideration for work and life balance. We are still cleaning up the mess of transitioning to a new accounting system within a third of the time it normally takes. Many people have left and there was a recent mass layoff of people. While we try and remain positive that it will improve there seems to be little light if any at the end of this tunnel!

Pros

There are none to report.

Cons

My experience with Peraton’s hiring process was deeply disappointing and, unfortunately, reflected very poor communication practices. I received an offer in October for a position supporting a newly awarded FAA contract supporting their new Air Traffic Control System and was initially told that I would receive a start date in December. When December arrived, I was informed that the timeline had shifted to January. This same message continued each month, with repeated assurances that the position was still moving forward and that I simply needed to remain patient. Over the course of nearly six months, I completed all requested pre-employment steps, including the background check, and made multiple attempts to obtain meaningful updates through email. Most of those requests were met with little to no response, and the limited communication I did receive provided no real clarity beyond another delayed timeline. After being consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs. While I understand that contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning. I was very excited about this next phase of my career, as well as the opportunity to support this new contract. But after this ordeal, I quite frankly do not recommend anyone to seek employment here.
