Pros

- Work/life balance shows respect for employees - Benefits are good - Good for veterans - Peraton is much better at business operations than Perspecta ever was, with one big exception described below

Cons

Manager endlessly berating employees about wokeism and other progressive politics. I did not sign up for this, nor welcome it. No, I am not going to put "my male pronouns" on my e-mail signature block. Several great systems engineers have left because of this. I will join them if this division fails to refocus back upon mission and great performance. Promotions appear to be impacted by your demonstrated enthusiasm for wokeism rather than merit, and this is driving good employees to look elsewhere to companies free of the stain of politics. Although fine in one's personal life, politics and religion have no place in the office. With America politically divided 50-50, aggressively pushing a divisive political position is extremely unwise in the long run. Once gone, former employees don't forget why they left and they share their opinions when asked.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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