What we can offer you
We don’t settle for people that can just do the job, we look for people that are constantly trying to push the boundaries and improve what we do. This is what makes CACI a great team to be a part of.
Innovation is hugely important to us and we aim for everybody in the business to spend 5% of their time innovating and training. If you are an innovative thinker and like to challenge the norm, coming up with new ways of doing things, then you will be surrounded by likeminded people at CACI.

Progression
We understand that your career progression is important to you. Unlike many organisations, promotions happen twice a year at CACI. This gives you more opportunity to progress. At CACI people get promoted on merit when they are ready. This means that your career is completely in your own hands and there is never a ceiling for your progress.
Everyone’s career path is different. We welcome people exploring different areas and trying out new skillsets. Just because you start off down one path doesn’t mean you are committed to it indefinitely. At CACI you have the freedom to carve your own career path.
At CACI we understand the value in building personal and professional relationships outside of your immediate teams. Whether you are joining us in your first job or you are an experienced hire there is a development programme for you that will allow you to network across the business and have the potential to influence business decisions.

Anyone joining CACI in the first 2 years of their career will be enrolled onto NextGen and expected to participate.
The Consultant Network is for more experienced staff. It comprises a peer-to-peer network, to allow you to meet likeminded people from across the business, and gives you the opportunity to work on a range of extra-curricular projects that will directly impact the way MSD operates.
Participation in NextGen and Consultant Network is strongly advised. Like all development programmes, the more you contribute the more you will get out of it.
Flexibility
The key to our success is our teamwork and collaboration and that tends to work best when we are all in the office working together. That said, we fully appreciate that everyone leads busy lives, and we can’t always be in the office. This is why we embrace flexible working expecting people to come in 2-3 times per week.
Development
Your development is key and is a top priority for the team. We offer 3 types of training: externally run consulting courses, externally run bespoke courses and internal courses. Everyone has different training requirements which means everyone has their own training plan. A bespoke training plan will be created for you when you join.
