Pros

Stable company that does have many long term clients, so doing something right I suppose. Core group of long term employees with good client relationships.

Cons

CAI wins deals based on price, hence the reason for the abundance of public sector work. They of course win on price by offering below market pay and poor benefits. Culture is stodgy and old fashioned in the worst sort of way. Nearly impossible to innovate within the organization . Work here only if you absolutely need to.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on interesting, high-impact projects. - Flexible work environment that supports work/life balance. - Many talented and knowledgeable colleagues across the organization.

Cons

- Leadership dynamics can feel misaligned, particularly when less experienced teams are driving decisions that impact more tenured professionals. - Career growth feels unclear and, at times, unattainable without the "right" visibility or relationships. - Cross-functional friction is common, and navigating disagreement does not always feel supported or safe. - Compensation and advancement do not consistently reflect market expectations or individual contributions. - Organizational priorities can feel disconnected from the day-to-day experience of employees.
