Pros

There are truly no pros to working here

Cons

As someone who had just graduated college, I thought this was a great company with great starting salary… boy was I wrong. Little did I know that I’d work here for 4 years with absolutely no raise whatsoever, I went through 3 merges/name changes (and I see another has happened since I left), and the company is STILL laying people off. They are losing contracts (which I said would happen) and they are underpaying their employees. This company is being run into the ground. I feel so bad for those who spent 30+ years with them, as this is clearly not the same company they started out with. Get ready to get a new manager every 6 months or so ( I went through 6 managers), terrible, inconsistent pay (yep, I would get like half my paycheck because their system sucks, or they thought I wouldn’t notice) and not being appreciated. There’s way better out there than this job… do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time time.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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