Pros

Flat structure, plenty of support from expat and local management, inclusive, feels like being part of a team when I have more of an individual role.

Cons

Timesheets, expenses processes stuck in a timewarp. HQ office is a bit cramped, but plenty of flexibility to work from home or at client sites. Hopefully we move to a better office soon

Pros

Good start to your career. If you can't find ANYTHING else.

Cons

CAI is a glorified staffing agency. They charge clients say $200 per hour for an agents time and CAI takes home about 80% of that cut. The lions share goes towards the ESOP which really only benefits those with lots of stock (i.e., those with tenure, senior leadership, c suites). CAI is eroding at the middle. Lots of bloat at top being supported by an ever growing staff of fresh college graduates and an ever shrinking senior staff who flee for better opportunities once vested and trained. If you're a client and you need help, try hiring a company that doesn't outsource your sensitive documentation developments to India where we pay agents $15 an hour but still charge our American clients the hourly rate of an American agent. Lmao, a BAL called that innovating. What a weird way to spell "outsourcing". CAI has peaked. Even the original CEO sold his stock worth millions when he passed the baton. Tells you alot about leaderships faith if even Bob would rather have the cash.

Pros

Benefits are on par to other companies.

Cons

100% travel, not family friendly, not women friendly, clash of cultures between Navy personnel and civilians, impossible to schedule any sort of appointment due to travel, often project placements do not correspond with skill/education at all, no guidance provided if assignment is not within your skill set, no appropriate notice about change of sites, travel does not count towards work hours even if it takes 10 hours to get to site, a number of terrible managers who will drive you to leave the company, turnover rate is rather high.
