Pros
Was a good company before it merged and sold out to larger companies who don’t treat employees well. It gets you a clearance and IC experience for your next job.
Cons
Company got too big and stopped treating employees well. They’re too focused on saving money and encourage turnover to pay new investigators less instead of retaining experienced ones. No accountability at the manager level at least in the DC region. Since they have an “uncapped bonus” structure they justify lower wages but it is way less than industry standard. If you shop around you’ll find the same job for 25-30% higher starting salary. It is only worth it at Peraton if you can work overtime or get assigned enough work to make big bonus money. Neither has happened in about 3 years, despite Covid where we worked even more. There’s a constant pressure to exceed unattainable statistics then not be financially rewarded for it. This company has gotten too big and I went elsewhere. I would recommend the same to anyone there or anyone wanting to work as an Investigator.
