Pros

I have yet to find one.

Cons

I have worked at Peraton on a Department of Homeland Security contract for over a year before recently quitting. During the past few months, I have seen Peraton negatively disrupt the contract that I was working on. The application I worked on continued to rapidly degrade under Peraton. At least two higher ranking Peraton employees were well aware of the application's increasing issues, yet repeatedly chose to ignore them, disrupting the DHS's ability to properly function. The two employees in question even have admin rights to the application, which they most certainly should not. I notified HR of numerous concerns while working at Peraton, and they also failed to properly address them, including a sex based discrimination complaint. They even appeared to retaliate against me for doing so. On my resignation, an HR rep even admitted to siding with the individual I reported, proving their unethical and suspicious bias. They terminated my account the next day, leaving me unable to complete the employee resignation checklist that they claimed I am required to complete. I eventually notified DHS employees of my concerns. I even notified Peraton's CEO of HR's behavior. My Peraton account was terminated before I could see a potential response to that email. Peraton is likely being investigated by the government for their suspicious behavior. I imagine DHS employees are possibly being investigated as well.

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.
