Pros

Meet a lot of interesting people, go some interesting places

Cons

Unrealistic workload Inadequate training I have waited until I was successful with another company to leave this review just because the gaslighting by management in this position was so severe that I thought that maybe I was a horrible employee who couldn't cut it anywhere. You will have a certain workload that needs to completed by certain dates. This workload will require you to work 60 hour weeks. If you inform your supervisor of this, you will receive the following instructions: work 40 hours and complete your workload or a change will have to be made with your position *hint hint wink wink*. This leads to people either working unpaid hours or cutting corners in a position that they like to pretend is imperative to national security. I will say this; the position is honestly not that bad as long as you go into it with the assumption that you are salaried (40 hrs x pay rate) and you are expected to work 60 hours a week. At least in this case the pay will be horrendous but your expectations will be realistic.

Pros

CACI has acquired quite a few smaller companies under its larger corporate umbrella, and although they have stripped these smaller companies of their identities and benefits thereafter, they do provide the safety net that larger companies do provide, but the benefits remain on par with most large defense contractors.

Cons

If you're apart of a smaller company that is either acquired by CACI, or have joined a program that once was a part of a smaller company already absorbed by CACI, you'll slowly watch the people, culture, and identity of that program drift away into corporate nothingness.
