Pros

Nothing more exciting than working at a company that is rapidly growing, because your job evolves and new opportunities arise. Good pay and benefits. Really interesting and important customers and missions.

Cons

Change is hard, and some people fall through the cracks no matter how hard everyone tries to move forward as one team.

Pros

-Worked from home - Flexible hours - Field Managers and Regional Directors are great at managing numbers - Great rewarding work

Cons

- High stress - Constantly pushing Investigators to do more with less mistakes - Low pay (10% lower and the national average for Background Investigators - Very low pay raises with level moves (Investigator promotions) - Not enough PTO time - Field Managers and Regional Directors are terrible at leading people I started with this company as Keypoint Government Solutions (KGS) and then it became Perspecta and I resigned a couple of days prior to the company being bought by Peraton. After 26 years of military service and some part-time civilian jobs over the years this is probably the worst job I've ever had in my life due to poor mid-level leadership and management. I was told by the recruiting department I can negotiate my salary in lieu of receiving health benefits. After starting the employment I was rudely told by the HR department this was not true and I had to start at the bottom just like everyone else and work my way up. However I was told in lieu of giving direct cash payments in in lieu of selecting medical benefits the company would make quarterly deposits into my 401K, but after 3 years I was never once compensated for not selecting medical benefits. I talked to other military retirees that worked for KGS/Perspecta and they all said they had the same issues I did and they all quit

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. You can bank your PTO up to 320 hours. A great benefit is the flexible two week 80-hour schedule. For example, if you want to take a Friday off, you can work your 40 hours from M-Th. This way you take a day off without having to tap into your PTO

Cons

Lacks work-life balance. Resources spread thin, which makes it hard to take multiple vacation days at time.
