Pros

I respect and enjoy working with my peers. Some very interesting programs. There are some really fantastic people there but they are not corporate.

Cons

Serious lack of employee engagement due to seeming lack of management concern. Excessive workload, lack of responsiveness to input, and communication. Transitioned systems too fast without doing adequate research. Passing the buck on any question that cannot be easily answered. Departmental trainings not adequately put together or sourced. Open door is not open. Company pretends they are more agile than Harris but still have very tedious processes and responses to questions are slow.

Pros

bi-weekly paycheck , some good people at the ground level that does the day to day work.

Cons

A lot of the talented individuals within the Communications Sector was let go and questionable management put in place. The Communications Sector is not a very diverse business unit. The Communications Sector has been completed destroyed by current leadership. It appears getting rid of key personnel was more important than growing the business.

Pros

Peraton was a spin-out from Harris Corporation in mid 2017. I worked for the company prior to the Harris acquisition, during its ownership, and now under the new Peraton brand. I can honestly say that the company is in the best position its ever been. Spin-outs create real challenges, since the company has to reinvent just about everything that had been provided by the former parent. Fortunately, the senior management is doing all the right things to reset the business on a positive course. There is a lot left to tackle, but they have made huge progress. They abandoned the archaic IT systems of the past in favor of new cloud based services that are much more employee friendly. Every employee got a new PC, for the first time in 7 years for many. All of the key facilities are being upgraded with better decor and work spaces. And the benefits really took a leap in the right direction, after the HR department conducted an employee-wide survey. Now our PTO, company holidays, and healthcare all out pace competitors that are twice our size. Most importantly, Peraton has replaced the culture of fear, negativity and resistance to change of the past, with one of real transparency and collaboration, and what they call a "bias for action." If you want to make a mark for yourself, this place has lots of opportunities.

Cons

There are pockets of nay-sayers who can be disruptive, rather than helpful in implementing the positive changes. These are mostly folks who preferred to stay buried in the bureaucracy of the previous owner or who work on the more obscure and remote programs. As, someone who has been here before, during, and after the Harris era, I can say with conviction that the new Peraton is a far better company on a better course.
