Pros

Great place for self learning. CSC has deployed a great online self-learning section in the company portal. One can get best of the books online through the portal. CSC also provides a good balance to personal/professional life. They have decent sports and gym facilities made available for the employees. Salary structure was friendly. There's lot of emphasis on non-work related activities. Sometime Key Result Areas are defined around non-work related activities. This can be seen as positive or negative under different contexts. E.g, approx 40% or KRAs are defined on non-work related activities. If an employee has been working diligently to meet stiff delivery deadlines, he/she is bound to miss on those 40% KRA goals, severely affecting the performance appraisal.

Cons

No vision from senior management, no roadmap. Senior management has been seen clueless about growth plans for the India FSG unit CSC India (FSG unit) is a cost center and hence follows a business model which purely services onsite teams and projects. There is no scope of control although employees are accountable for the piece of assignment they are working on. All my proactive suggestions were warded off as silly but management wanted to implement them 2 years later when client started demanding for those features. This is a clear showcase of short-sightedness seen in FSG unit's management. Recognition for one's accomplishments are purely on manager's discretion which is usually heavily biased on few people in the team. I can keep on writing more rants and raves but the fact is CSC FSG unit management is incompetent and short-sighted. I am pretty sure they still dont have any road map for the unit.
