Peraton reviews

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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

I strongly advise anyone considering employment with Peraton to think twice. My experience with the company was deeply frustrating and, often times, disheartening. One of the most troubling aspects was the way layoffs were handled. Employees were let go on multiple occasions without warning and with little to no communication or transparency. Peraton believes in just ripping the bandaid off without care or remorse for their employees and that created a culture of instability and made it difficult to feel secure or valued in your role. Compensation practices were also inconsistent and, in many cases, unfair. Pay did not always align with workload, responsibilities, or industry standards, and there seemed to be little effort to correct or even acknowledge these disparities and questions regarding the topic were treated with hostility. Perhaps most concerning was the lack of respect and professionalism from senior leadership. Support was minimal, communication was often unclear or dismissive, and there was a noticeable absence of loyalty to employees. Decisions that impacted people’s livelihoods were made without empathy or accountability. Overall, the culture felt transactional rather than supportive. If you are looking for an organization that values its people, invests in their growth, and demonstrates integrity from the top down, you may want to explore other options.
