Peraton reviews

If you want to work for a company that offers minimal benefits, no stock options, no bonuses, an incredibly low base salary that's verging on predatory, laughable annual raises, and want to work under management that fights you tooth and nail on paying for the tools you need to do your job, then look no further than Peraton. Myself and several others I worked with hit all our metrics and were given good performance reviews with no negative feedback against us, yet management gave us a measely 1.5% annual raise and acted like we were lucky to get that. I have had to fight to get the company to reimburse me for a work trip to a client. Which by the way, you're given a budget so small ($100 per day), it's hard to stick to with the cost of ubers, breakfast, lunch, almost "mandatory" company dinners (which they won't pay for), and almost "mandatory" happy hour (which again they won't pay for). I also had to pay extra out of my own pocket for that trip because I didn't want to fly the red-eye they wanted me to take because of it being the cheapest option.

There has been ongoing frustration within Talent Acquisition since the leadership transition. During the first six months, communication from the new leader was minimal to the point that many team members felt disconnected and lost, unclear about direction. Unfortunately, communication and visibility have not meaningfully improved and have worsened. While the senior leader appears to be well-intentioned, there are concerns about whether they are demonstrating the strategic presence, decisiveness, and communication cadence required at this level. As a result, decisions often feel reactive rather than intentional, and key updates are not consistently shared—sometimes not even with middle management before broader changes occur. Skip-level meetings have significantly declined, and process changes are implemented without adequate context or stakeholder input. This has led to confusion, reduced morale, and a growing sense that the team is being blindsided rather than aligned. Overall, the function feels diminished from what it once was—less cohesive, less strategic, and lacking the clarity and engagement that previously defined it.
