CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brilliant teammates; rewarding projects; great technology.

Cons

Really did not like the general Peraton Corp culture or their innovation initiatives. Management at labs was outstanding, but many have left since the Peraton acquisition and integration solidified.
