Pros

Somewhat flexible hours.. I worked for this company while it was still operating as KeyPoint Government Solutions.

Cons

Constant stress and frustration with this job.. There was never any healthy work/family/life balance EVER! This company's expectations were for robots or machines.. not for a human being's life. It's hard to work as a team when a manager never thinks you're good enough. I went above and beyond so many times for this company and was always told that I was simply "meeting expectations" and "not eligible" for a raise in salary. My quality of work was always 100%, but my numbers were never enough. While they were saying I was "not eligible for a raise," I was working all hours of the day and night. I was driving to locations which were more than 50+ miles from home, in terrible weather conditions and incessant horrible traffic. I was driving and walking through unknown neighborhoods (for canvassing) by myself with people following me and watching my every move. I was spending hours upon hours of typing up reports which had to be perfect in every way for constant fear of receiving a corrective action. I was spending many hours away from ever having any kind of a social life with family or friends. Those relationships suffered. Personal health also got neglected due to worrying that work was not getting submitted in time for deadlines which were undeniably unattainable. Going through all of this.. I was considered in every evaluation as "not eligible" to earn a raise and did not receive one single cent or any kind of merit increase during my entire four years of employment. If I could go back in time, I would have advised myself to obtain some experience, learn the ropes and then get out a whole lot sooner and go somewhere appreciated and respected.

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.
