I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Peraton (Chantilly, VA) in Oct 2025

I talked with a current engineer on the project and he was very casual. He made me feel comfortable and allowed me to explain different experiences. It was a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He asked me about my experience with the full lifecycle of the engineering process.
Met over a call; was able to ask a lot of questions and vice versa, felt more like a conversation than an intense interview. Asked more behavioral than technical questions.
