Pros

Living conditions when not underway, some exceptional co-workers

Cons

Recruitment team will paint a very lucrative picture but once on-site will start taking perks away (or threaten to anytime questioned). This program is the most mismanaged and toxic work environment ever witnessed. Employees, to include site lead, are not allowed to read nor see the contract that governs the supposed services provided. No clear goals, priorities, or objectives are defined. Management constantly use work hours and pay as a means of coercion. The only management "styles" used are fear and intimidation. No one in the company can explain the compensation plan making it impossible to check if you're being payed correctly. Local management/supervisory team not well defined, longevity gives individuals the right to make up policy on the spot and berate other employees. There is little to no administrative support from CONUS management team. Training syllabus is not clearly defined, nor are qualification standards. Contract financial burdens are pushed onto the forward deployed employees.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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