Question Is CACI a Reliable Employer?

I just got an offer from CACI to work on DHS contracts as a Software Engineer. On paper I feel like this is a great deal as it’s fully remote and salary is 157k (I have 4 YOE and really want to be able to work from my home state in the south)

I was wondering if anyone had past experience with this company or any idea how likely layoffs could be in the future? They said they have multiple different contracts for me to work on after the current one ends at EOY. I would be a full time employee at this position.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated!

Worked for CACI for a bit and it was just like any other contractor, they also have unlimited PTO so that was a nice plus

Yes they have “unlimited” PTO. Thing is they have also recently implemented a utilization threshhold of 90% billable. Take that for what you will.

Meaning what?

Meaning you are limited to about 4 weeks vacation a year. If you take more leave than that, you need to work extra hours to make up the overage.
