Pros

The only good reason to work at CSC is that it is a job and that alone is of value in this economy. Individual groups of people are talented and some great teams, fewer all the time because of employee unfriendly corporate policies.

Cons

Everything CSC has done since it's massive, poorly communicated, badly mismanaged reorganization in 2012 (the one that cut out 40% of managers by overloading the remaining managers - many people still don't know who they work for) has been detrimental to and at the expense of employees. Massive waves of RIFS - some even while people are traveling on business trips with clients, continually decreasing benefits, abhorrent new forced vacation policy, inability to carry vacation over from year to year, forced performance ranking which arbitrarily downgraded most employees below their true performance level, no raises even for high performing employees with very few exceptions, abysmal internal management and unbelievably bad communication and rollout of changes. Back office systems in a shambles. I wonder how we pass audits. We can't hire because headhunters steer people away from CSC. All of this has been planned by senior management to increase operating income and increase share prices. None of it is sustainable. It is a serious mess, folks. Stay away.
