Pros

I love my job, love the hustle, love the type of work I do protecting our country and helping those to get their clearance. This is a great position for those who are really interested in a career as a federal agent or federal investigator (as I very much am). You work with a variety of different people who are very well connected and investigate people for different federal agencies Peraton is contracted with.

Cons

Not really a con but this is a hustle type job. You work from home and no one directly watches over you. You have to be very on top of your work. When you first get out in the field, it can be discouraging as you're brand new and are trying to figure out how to maneuver this job. But you have to push through it as it will get easier. So it can be a very much sink or swim type of job.

Pros

Peraton is a great company to work for. My boss built a huge Datacenter from the ground up. He is very helpful to everyone in our team.

Cons

Onboarding is slow, it takes longer than I expected.
