Pros

Good benefits. Good coworkers, and a few good managers.

Cons

CACI tends to pay low so they can win contracts by underbidding the competition, which leads to multiple layoffs until a program is profitable. I noticed that sr. management will do everything to protect the high-paid managers, regardless of competence, like moving them off to more stable programs or letting them charge overhead to work on proposals, while the low-paid workers doing the real work bear the brunt of the layoffs. Then they notice the work isn’t getting done, so have to hire more low-paid workers. It’s a continuous cycle of mismanagement. I actually heard a Sr. Program Manager brag about the fact that CACI employees are some of the lowest paid in the industry. It is amazing to me how so many abused workers can be so loyal to this company. An earlier post was right on when they claimed that managers are arrogant to the point of being cliquish and that we need servant managers. CACI management seems to be very clubby, like a coddled uber class that is free to abuse and berate their underlings at will, with no accountability for their behavior. CACI’s fiscal year starts July 1, instead of Oct 1, as the federal government and most other companies, which means open season for insurance is out of synch with plans held by other family members. This can make insurance changes and moving between the plans difficult.

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.
