Peraton reviews

Poor pay for a national security position. The base pay for investigators is 17.50 per hour, and if you work in a metro area with a lot of work, you get 4 dollars more, but when it comes to OT, OT is paid at time and a half of 17.50 per hour, not 21.50 per hour. TBD for benefits since Peraton acquired As you get further along, it becomes impossible to do work in a 40 hour work week and keep up with metrics Management also has metrics and are extremely pushy. Management is usually not much higher on the totem pole and doesn't have the ability or willingness to make progressive change to fundamentals. Refiles, no matter if they are incorrect, are counted against you and investigators are the low end of the totem pole in the company and have no say on improvement Changes were made to gatekeep the help team from investigators and reviewers alike

Micromanagement is pervasive. Routine tasks require constant check-ins, and there's a noticeable lack of trust in employees’ expertise. What’s more discouraging is the unprofessional undercurrent in team interactions—offhand gossip and subtle cliques affect morale and make it difficult to feel like part of a cohesive team. This is a warning sign for anyone expecting a mature, mission-driven environment. It’s especially disheartening considering the type of work and clearances often required. I’m actively exploring better-aligned opportunities where integrity and professionalism are more than just buzzwords.
