CACI case interview for Product Designer: mission-focused enterprise UX under federal constraints

What this covers and why it’s CACI-specific: You’ll be given a realistic, mission-support scenario drawn from federal, intel, or defense work and asked to demonstrate end‑to‑end product design thinking for secure, enterprise environments. The format reflects CACI’s typical flow (recruiter screen → hiring manager → peer/panel with a case/portfolio deep dive) and emphasizes culture fit around Character and Innovation and a customer‑mission mindset. Expect virtual panels (often VTC/Teams), time-boxed storytelling, and space for Q&A.

Prioritize accessibility (WCAG/Section 508), auditability, and resilience. Show how you’d adapt the experience for low‑bandwidth or restricted endpoints and how you’d incorporate security/privacy considerations without degrading usability.

([caci.com](https://www.caci.com/culture?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) - 15 min: Discovery approach: outline rapid research and validation in sensitive environments (e.g., contextual inquiry alternatives, proxy users, log/telemetry reviews). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contextual_inquiry?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) - 20 min: Solution walk‑through: annotated flows/wireframes that meet Section 508 and enterprise needs; call out trade‑offs, failure modes, and risk mitigations. ([caci.com](https://www.caci.com/contracts/508?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) - 5 min: Measurement plan: operational KPIs (task success, time‑to‑intel, error rates), 508 checks, and deployment-readiness. - 10–15 min: Q&A with a cross‑functional panel; expect probes on collaboration, constraints, and ethics/integrity.

Interviews are frequently virtual and panel-based. ([glassdoor.com](https://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/CACI-International-Interview-Questions-E1201.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
