Pros

The people, not management, were great.

Cons

I worked for the internal IT department. They touted a very good transition off of Harris' services to our own, but that success didn't translate to all of the employees in IT. Meager merit increases? Placement of buddies? Favoritism? Layoffs?!? Is that the way to treat employees after a very successful transition that "was never attempted before". No. I saw the writing on the wall. IT management is full of cronies, opportunistic and Machiavellian people that are in it for them and their pals. I guess that if you're not in their circle, your forced or kicked out. Peraton may have separated from Harris and the other thousand entities that it had picked up over time, but it's still an old school place. Don't fall for the "100-year old" start-up schpiel.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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