Pros

If you like having no life and being overworked, then this place is for you.

Cons

Unrealistic stat expectations for FI's. Way too much work assigned to realistically do in a 40 hour work week. No time is given for non production time, you will drive all over town in traffic and it will all be counted against you and your stats. Technology is absolutely archaic and prehistoric...expect to spend hours doing admin work because of the horrible technology (websites and programs). Spend extra time doing interviews because they do not have approved forms for source interviews...you have to write everything out. Submitting expenses and daily manifests is like rocket science, even just recording hours in Deltek is ridiculous. Dental is expensive, no floating holidays and you have to use a personal computer for everything else outside of PIPS/FWS. Nothing like having to keep going back and forth to 2 computers because the CACI issued computer is so limited with what it can do. Management is absolutely a joke, enough said on that. Definitely need to improve in the Investigations area and give their employees more to work with because they are losing so much work from their FI's because they can't give them the resources and tools needed to be successful. It was such a bad experience I could not even stay with them for more than 4 months. I refuse to work for a company that has very substandard tools and resources for their employees.

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.
