Pros

Quick and easy onboarding, internal system is easy to navigate, good programs that allow you to create business projects lead by mentors, management is decent.

Cons

Here's where it gets dicey. Even if you're a great employee and you have some great ideas for company projects or processes, you're expendable. If you have to deal with their HR department in any way, play the wiseguy. HR isn't there to protect you or anything; it's there to protect the company. Want to survive at Peraton? Do your work, and keep your head low, eyes and ears open. Only talk about business. Peraton has a typical soulless, back-stabbey non-negotiable corporate culture and functionality. They'll say you're doing a great job while secretly plotting to pull the rug out from under you, and you have no say in the matter.

Unethical

Pros

Work from home, flexible hours

Cons

Unethical. Was given a raise only after 3 years when the government mandated it under SCA. Corporate didn’t seem happy about it on the Townhall call, and six months later during open enrollment rolled out a plan which clawed back virtually the whole raise by lowering the employer contribution by $6,000 a year. They didn’t announce this decision in advance. No warning. It wasn’t due to rising healthcare costs, it was just a brazen decision by corporate that they wanted more money. I’m now actively looking for work elsewhere, because I can’t afford to work for Peraton. They basically reached into my pocket, and took $6K, with only two months of notice. This strictly meets the definition of “legal, but unethical.”
