Pros

*I can only speak to corporate side employment* Any "pros" depend heavily on your position in the company (corporate side V contract side, remote V on site, etc). Some people receive good pay, I do not. I have had some great managers during my time, but all have left.

Cons

Constantly going through an integration, meaning you will never be able to better the company or your position/industry in any way. Management does not care about HOW to get things done, they just tell you to do it regardless of the actual feasibility. The company motto "Do the can't be done" is taken way too literally as a directive. Poor leadership at the top is poor leadership on the trickle down. Everyone is afraid for the vast amounts of red tape. HUGE burn out. POOR PAY, especially for non technical/engineering/director level positions. And a huge disparity between pay within teams and geographic locations. If you want more you really have to go after it and hound. NO BACK FILL. This billion dollar company acts like it has no money. Lots of turn over. No real career mobility and no one cares to level you up. Everything is secretive so nothing can be properly done when working between sectors.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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