Pros

Benefits are good and the pay is competitive.

Cons

This used to be a great, people first company when it was Perspecta. Since the Peraton merger, it has become unbearable. There is a reason why they have so many contractors now.

Pros

- I got to learn what I don't enjoy in a position. - Makes my new job seem a lot better.

Cons

- Solicitation of pyramid schemes onto new college hires. Brought up to management who did nothing about it. - 13 college hires quit in the span of 11 months. They stopped throwing goodbye parties because it started getting expensive. - No experience gained. Not challenging, job could be completely automated. - Lack of growth and development. - Toxic managers. Team lead called me her "good little Christian boy" (I am not Christian lol)
