Pros

In my experience, there is a work-life balance.

Cons

This company is an aggregation of acquisitions precariously held in place by tape and twine, with no unifying spirit. The work is the same. Sort of. For now. But there is a chronic departure of skilled and knowledgeable colleagues, with predictable consequences. The new benefits structure was recently released, and savvy, capable younger colleagues are leaving. Peraton has demonstrated a complete lack of interest in training personnel for a career of development and contribution. And additional benefits were slashed. Diversity is lacking. Which, at least in part, is likely why departing women appear to significantly outnumber the men. 'Human' is missing from 'Human Resources'. It is exceptionally difficult to speak in real time about an HR-related issue. Inquiries take days. And one gets to play "Guess Which Portal?" when looking for a service -- and each requires multiple validations. Instead of processes which should be centrally automated, pages of instructions, with nested references, are sent to employees to execute the technical configuration tasks needed to become 'One Peraton'.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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.
