Pros

CACI has a very good reputation, both for their benefits and their reputation as being an ethical company. Everyone that I worked with at CACI has\had high ideals and were very intelligent. They have a generous education benefit (10% of your yearly salary), which I never got to use due to unforseen circumstances.

CACI has the most impressive support for non-office-connected workers that I have ever seen. Their external pages for email, company internal job searching and employee mobility are second-to-none. I was impressed, and I have worked for a Fortune 500 company that didn't use technology like CACI does. Bravo; technologically, CACI is the mouse that roars.

They offer a wide range of perks for their employees, buying clubs, discount tickets and the like. Again, I didn't have much opportunity to take advantage of the perks.

Most of the people whom I met at CACI had been there several years and planned to stay.

Cons

I ended up in a situation where a gov't manager decided that they didn't like my qualifications for a task. That govie only had a BS degree and experience in one niche all of it's working life. I have a BS, a recent masters degree and 22 security certifications. The govie wanted me off the contract, and CACI bowed and scraped and said, yes. So, after less than a year on the job, I was out, thrown under the bus by CACI. (Make sure and pronounce the name like 'Kack-i').

CACI wanted me to try to take other jobs in far-flung parts of the USA, but after THAT experience, I didn't trust them any far than I can throw their Headquarters building. There was NO WAY I was going to move across the country only to have CACI throw me under the bus because some other client got some harebrained idea in their head(s).

No more CACA for me, thanks.

Advice to Senior Management

Support your employees. Develop the kind of relationship with your end-clients so you can tell them what's good for them when they need to hear it. Most of all, learn to COMMUNICATE.

Pros

Great work life balance. This would be a great place for mothers and students. Compensation is fair but not great. Tuition reimbursement is a plus. Opportunities for growth and career development is largely dependent on which business group you are in as they all operate like separate entities. Some groups offer higher raises than others.

Cons

Pay is not that great. For my particular business group, growth opportunities are not there. You can easily be pigeon holed into one position/role for years. There is no formal training program.

Advice to Senior Management

Provide a better performance appraisal process.

Pros

This is based on the project that I'm on -- Flexible Schedules, Great training, Project level managment is good, Oppurtunity for advancement is possible in this company.

Cons

The only con that I have is that majority of jobs are based on contracts. But CACI does try to find you something else when that contract is over or gov't funding has exhausted. Most companies just give you the boot.

Advice to Senior Management

.

Pros

Good pay and opportunities to work overseas were important, although I felt that my leadership at times was more concerned about getting new work than taking care of its current employees.

Cons

I really liked my initial managers, but felt that those above them were more concerned with dollars than with people.

Advice to Senior Management

Remember that the people in the field are important and that they are more than just dollar signs.

Pros

CACI is one of the better places I've worked. I left because I was getting "in a rut" with the project I was on, but looking back, I wished I'd tried for positions on other projects instead of leaving the company.

With the way it's structured, with independent projects, different people there can have very different experiences. Mine was very positive - I liked my managers and my coworkers, felt well trained, was well supported by management without being micro-managed, flexible work schedule, good benefits, fair annual reviews and pay increases. Just a professional, well-run place.

Cons

At least in my time there, I thought they would sometimes "cut corners" in regards to hiring salaries -- so you often ended up with a grab bag of talents. It worked out well for me as they were willing to hire me with practically no experience - I was able to break into my tech career and was willing to take the lower pay to get my foot in the door. But they really got me for a bargain price, and sometimes you really do get what you pay for in terms of expertise and talent.

Advice to Senior Management

For the most part, I'd say keep doing what you've been doing. I do think there was a need to have salaries be more current/competitive, but I don't really know what other folks were making - maybe it was just my salary that was low!
