Pros

Benefits if you have TS/SCI w/ CI Poly (fully paid for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 5 weeks PTO)

Cons

Management was not great. My manager didn’t give me work even when I asked and this reflected very poorly on my end of year assessment for some reason. I ended up getting a ~3% raise in a year with 8% inflation. They advertise self-improvement, but every time I asked any manager to pay for my certs, they made me jump through a million hoops and ended up saying they don’t have enough money in their budget to pay for it right now. Even their in-house trainings, they wouldn’t pay for me to get the certs in. I was laid off a project with 2 weeks notice to find a new team or be unemployed. I ended up getting a promotion with the company, but they didn’t give me a raise even though I went from remote to fully in-person. When I quit the new team, the new manager was extremely upset and not understanding with me even though they had laid me off less than a month ago. I gave my two weeks notice and she pushed me out the door the next day meaning I lost out on 2 weeks of pay. 401k matching vests after 2 years

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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