Peraton reviews

Bureaucracy is a problem, especially in Procurement and Legal. All decisions seem to need C-level approval. Delegation is extremely limited. The private equity owners (Veritas) can be ruthless and more than a bit unpleasant to work for. Interactions can be down right insulting and unprofessional. Lots of people who were hired into Peraton in 2017, when it first formed as a spin-out from Harris, have found themselves squeezed out or demoted after several very large acquisitions. There is no loyalty for those who have been there since the beginning. You are constantly being re-evaluated to see if you can keep your job.

Being a background investigator puts you on the bottom of the totem pole. All problems filter their way down to the investigator and constant scrutiny from reviewers. Reports are sent back for minor errors and if even it's sent back incorrectly it still counts against your metrics since they do not have a system in place to correct it. This may be by design since bonuses are paid off of your metrics. Constant deadlines that change based on the needs of the client, high turnover of employees with no real leaders, and everyone are out for themselves who offer little help.
