Pros

None. Company cares about their bottom line. That is it.

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue on what they are doing. The Tiers/groups don't speak with each other on troubleshooting issues or looking into issues. Company cares about filling positions do to contract stipulations rather then to fill it with a knowledgeable person. Pulled incumbents over to contract after they won, didn't tell them that TSA / Peraton changed the position that some people had for 20+ years into an entry level position and had them reapply to the same job for 40 - 60% pay reduction. They fudge the scope of work in order to get people to even attempt to apply to jobs. Morally and ethically a horrible company.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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