Pros

The actual job, co-workers, and lower level management are unbeatable. 401K is better than what was offered with previous company.

Cons

Upper management to include CEO seem to have shifted their focus away from their employees and "teams," to profit margins. On "Day One" the message was passed that we would be our own entity, with less management levels to the top than what Harris has, which would mean increased profit overall. Well now that we are separating further from Harris, it is now clear that the employees are not going to see any of that increased profit. The company has taken away the unlimited vacation, and replaced it with one pot of 3 weeks PTO for new employees. That one pot means your vacation, sick time, and facility closure will come out of the same pot. Pay seems to be lower than most companies, to include what Harris is paying for similar positions. It's funny how we separated from Harris, which is supposed to be a positive (increased profit), but now Harris seems to be the better place to be (better pay and benefits).

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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