Pros

You can get promoted to the next level investigator if you break your back and work 97 hrs/wk without logging the hours so your metrics will be unaffected.

Cons

The metric system is ridiculous. Horrible clients. You drive everywhere but that drive time is part of your productive hour metrics so, even though you can spend up to 1.5hr/day driving, that 1.5hr is considered as part of your productive time so you better find a way to type and drive at the same time. You cannot escape work; you work from home and you will work all the time. Good bye, life. CACI pays $18/hr in NOVA area to investigators, which if you think covers the cost of living, then you are out of your mind (Hello concurrent employments!). If you choose the highest health insurance coverage plan, then apprx. $500/mo will be paid by you. Insurance coverage is practically non-existent.

Pros

Great support from other team members

Cons

Communication from the Web Content Analyst lead could be improved. Employees were often expected to complete tasks with limited guidance or knowledge sharing, which made onboarding and professional development more difficult. Interactions with leadership could sometimes feel unnecessarily dismissive or discouraging, especially when employees asked questions or requested clarification on technical processes. Expectations and priorities occasionally changed without clear communication, creating confusion and additional stress for team members trying to meet deadlines and deliver quality work. Technical information sometimes felt unnecessarily restricted, which created challenges for collaboration, efficiency, and overall team growth. Feedback was not always delivered in a constructive or supportive manner, which could negatively affect morale and confidence within the team. Stronger communication, mentorship, professionalism, and a more collaborative leadership approach would greatly improve the overall employee experience and workplace culture.
