I know that Peraton has changed it’s name several times. I worked for KeyPoint back then and wondered what it is like to currently work for Peraton? I’ve worked for pretty much all of the major vendors. Your thoughts are appreciated. TIA.

What’s been your experience between the different vendors?
Seems like there’s mixed reviews about Peraton. I know they’ve had a lot of turnover as of recently. Both with lower level investigators and management. I’ve heard more bad than good since the Keypoint transition, but I think some of that comes with working for a large vendor.

Peraton is a fairly large company now and background investigations may just be a small part of the business. Also, upper management may not see it as a growth area, but just a source of steady income. So maybe Peraton investigators will have to suffer some benign neglect.

They are all about the numbers. You hit your numbers you are fine. You don’t hit your numbers you are not fine. They constantly way over schedule!

I have experience with both. There are pros and cons, like most things in life.
I have found Peraton’s systems to be more “user friendly” (I’m a techno moron so this is big for me) and they provide better training. Benefits are much less expensive with Peraton. Benefits are less because it’s a HUGE company, which has it’s downsides.
CACI seemed more vested in investigators as a whole and didn’t treat it as a side gig. CACI seems a bit behind in terms of technology and even adopting DCSA policies…Peraton was doing all phone/remote interviews months before CACI put out a memo.
Granted I have had great team leads with both companies, and things that I may find challenging may be no big deal to anyone else.

I’ve had a very positive experience at Peraton. Changes over the last few years in upper level management has made a big difference. There will always be pressures with production but that’s everywhere and I think they are reasonable.
