Pros

Flexible work schedule. Security Clearance

Cons

Company uses metrics to track everything - corporate doesn't seem to understand that their employees are human not robots. The metrics system is also widely inaccurate and is a poor reflection of ability and output. I made less money after a promotion with additional job duties because the metric tracking system was inaccurate - I was writing 13 pages investigative reports that counted as an equivalent amount of work to the 2 pages investigative reports I was turning in on my easier cases when I first started the job. There is no company culture whatsoever - the job is very isolating / lonely. The quality of the investigations that get turned over to the Federal agencies for adjudication is poor - the company requires the bare minimum amount of work be done to turn over cases as quickly as possible. No investigative tools are provided - you wont have access to any databases and they won't pay for any subscriptions... not even the 2 bucks a month for whitepages. They'd rather turn in a bare bones investigative report to the feds then spend any money on lead finding services like TR Clear

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consistently led to believe the role was still active, I was ultimately contacted and informed that my offer had been rescinded due to changing business needs.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contracts and staffing requirements can change, waiting six months with minimal transparency only to have the offer withdrawn is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and career planning.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.
