      Best private contracting company to work for!

      Cyber security consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      They take care of their employees; once your at Peraton they go above and beyond to make an effort to make sure you keep your employment within Peraton through their family first program. They send out a list of open positions every week and will follow up with you on a weekly basis until you are placed within Peraton. Out of all the contracting companies I have ever worked for, this one has the most benefits if you are in a tier 5 position. They go above and beyond from paying for school to not even having to pay for healthcare. Also PTO on a tier 5 contract starts at 25 days. I don’t know any other private contracting company that will start you off with that many days. Another pro is differential pay for people that are in the military.

      Cons

      Contracting can be unpredictable in itself and this is no different. You just got to make sure you always plan for the worst and hope for the best when it comes to making sure that the next option year is going to happen on your contract because sometimes it can be unpredictable; but that’s where your management should shine and keep you in the loop (which mine does).

      It’s incredibly rewarding to hear this kind of feedback, especially from someone with deep experience across the contracting space. We’re glad to hear that our “Family First” approach, benefits, and support during transitions have made a meaningful impact on your experience. We also appreciate you calling out the realities of contract work. While some aspects can be unpredictable, we’re committed to showing up for our employees through strong communication, support, and continuity whenever possible. Thanks for being part of the team and for sharing your experience!

      Work flexibility overshadowed by poor management and low pay

      Background investigator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home, create own schedule, TDYs (when we had them)

      Cons

      Everything. Poor pay, micromanagement, always expected to produce more than what is required, bosses dont listen to concerns about lack of pay, cleared on several contracts with no additional compensation. Deadlines have been cut short from when I first started. Metrics are a joke. Unless you are working at 150% every month you will be hounded by management. CEO brags in meetings about how much profit the the company makes but the company had the nerve to give me a raise that was less than 50 cents. The company preaches about transparency but its all smoke and mirrors. They'll tell us about contracts one but not contracts lost (or why).
