Pros

A majority of the people you work with are excellent and extremely helpful.

Cons

You don’t get to use your investigation skills. Only what your told you can do. In hindsight, when US Marshalls, former Secret Service Agents, and multiple cops quit during training, I should’ve picked up that was a red flag. You are constantly told you are not good enough. You are basically on your own. I told my Field Manager that I felt woefully unprepared and that I would have taken more training for free or paid for it out of pocket. I was told by my first field manager it was “too much of a hassle.” My field trainer left me alone for two days to do his own work, telling me I “didn’t have clearance to shadow him.” Zero work life balance. Expect 6 emails a day to tell you how much you suck, even if you’re meeting metrics. HR is completely unhelpful, so if you have an illness, or a sick family member, don’t expect help. The response I got was “tell us what you want and we’ll tell you if we can accommodate you” Who is supposed to be helping who here? I received additional work while I was out for surgery and my work wasn’t reassigned. Training was inexcusably awful to the point that it had to be revamped. Not that they offered additional training to the people who got crappy training in the first place.

Pros

In my experience, there is a work-life balance.

Cons

This company is an aggregation of acquisitions precariously held in place by tape and twine, with no unifying spirit. The work is the same. Sort of. For now. But there is a chronic departure of skilled and knowledgeable colleagues, with predictable consequences. The new benefits structure was recently released, and savvy, capable younger colleagues are leaving. Peraton has demonstrated a complete lack of interest in training personnel for a career of development and contribution. And additional benefits were slashed. Diversity is lacking. Which, at least in part, is likely why departing women appear to significantly outnumber the men. 'Human' is missing from 'Human Resources'. It is exceptionally difficult to speak in real time about an HR-related issue. Inquiries take days. And one gets to play "Guess Which Portal?" when looking for a service -- and each requires multiple validations. Instead of processes which should be centrally automated, pages of instructions, with nested references, are sent to employees to execute the technical configuration tasks needed to become 'One Peraton'.
