Pros

My boss is an awesome person to work for and I hope to maintain that connection throughout my career. The work for the job is good most of the time. There are jobs all around the world that are available to transfer to so that's nice.

Cons

We are a subcontractor so we could lose our jobs without much notice. The rewards system is the most insulting part of the job thus far. I was put in for an award based on job performance from our customer. My co-workers that didn't work for my company who also received this recommendation from the customer got monetary rewards up to 500 dollars. The Peraton employees got points to spend on a rewards site to buy junk that was worth up to 30 dollars. Insulting. Additionally, the company's benefits were slashed to save money. 401k matching went down, we had unlimited PTO (within reason of course), and unlimited sick days. They are both combined down to 15 days total combined for the two. I miss being Harris.

Pros

There are none to report.

Cons

My experience with Peraton’s hiring process was deeply disappointing and, unfortunately, reflected very poor communication practices. I received an offer in October for a position supporting a newly awarded FAA contract supporting their new Air Traffic Control System and was initially told that I would receive a start date in December. When December arrived, I was informed that the timeline had shifted to January. This same message continued each month, with repeated assurances that the position was still moving forward and that I simply needed to remain patient. Over the course of nearly six months, I completed all requested pre-employment steps, including the background check, and made multiple attempts to obtain meaningful updates through email. Most of those requests were met with little to no response, and the limited communication I did receive provided no real clarity beyond another delayed timeline. After being consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs. While I understand that contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning. I was very excited about this next phase of my career, as well as the opportunity to support this new contract. But after this ordeal, I quite frankly do not recommend anyone to seek employment here.
