Pros

* It was a great group of people. * a lot of time given for learning * Pay was fantastic * In the beginning, full remote

Cons

* I was hired, like several other people, as full remote. Randomly, they decided to mandate some days in the office - problem was, I was 75 miles from the office. They still required me to go in. * I was hired as a Software Engineer, but rarely ever got to do that kind of work. * Communication was frustratingly poor. * I got railroaded into a PIP with no set goals or time limit for poor performance. Despite receiving feedback to the contrary and even receiving rewards for work I did. * I was let go with no HR in the room and I could not record the meeting. * I have not received my final PTO payout yet. It’s required by IL law. * During in an incident where my clearance got paused because Peraton put two different levels in for evaluation (one of which I didn’t need,) I was told to get certifications while I waited. They told me they would approve me, but they did not approve the payment for said certs. Then blamed me for it. * My boss would go weeks without meeting me or checking in on my work.

Pros

Salary and benefits are good

Cons

Leadership is in need of training. Toxic work environment that only cares about the bottom dollar and not its employees. Supposedly they are a top place to work for veterans but was treated disrespectful.
