Great company whose management has some growing to do.

Pros

We work on some exceptional projects here. Things that really make an impact on the world around us.

Cons

Management ignores supervisors in regards to poor performing employees causing the high performers to work harder to pick up the slack. THEN when programs start to fall behind they ask the supervisors to convince their people to work evenings, weekend, and holidays. At straight time. Not real overtime. Most at this level have families and straight time isn't a strong incentive for losing that time with our families.

Peraton Response

We recommend discussing your specific scenario with your manager first and/or your HR business partner. We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your experience here. We take all feedback seriously, even when it's negative. We'd like to understand your concerns better and see how we can make improvements
