Pros

Money is good. Benefits aren't bad. Environment is typically relaxed. Outside of the operations department it's a good environment with many chances to advance.

Cons

Mandatory overtime. Horrible management. Managers actively dismiss employee's concerns and well being. It's normal for employees to work 12 hour shifts for a month straight with no days off. For the past few years 60+ hour work weeks have been standard. If someone calls out they assign others mandatory overtime and 16 hour shifts. If the individual doesn't work it it's documented as a no call no show. Managers refuse to accommodate employees schedules even if resources are available. They just remind you that the job states abnormal shifts and dismiss you. Something as simple as switching off days with a coworker for one weekend is denied. Managers are familiar with the positions and micromanage constantly. If they're in a bad mood they'll investigate the activities of that day until they can find someone to write up.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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