Pros

The pay and benefits are competitive.

Cons

If you are a professional systems or software engineer. Peraton Chantilly is not the place to work. Software programs I worked on were run by engineering and technical leadership that have never worked in a software development. There is no engineering rigor or basic software or system engineering methodologies used. Basic software development, architecture, design, and test approaches are replaced by meetings staffed primarily by those in leadership positions briefing power point charts produced by individuals who have no experience or software engineering knowledge in those technical areas. RFCs and status charts are considered design documents. Peraton Chantilly is not a place conducive for a professional engineer to use their knowledge and education, or want to learn or grow in the system and software engineering disciplines. There are much better places to work for professional engineers looking for challenging work and growth opportunities.

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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