Pros

The company is still a blank slate. As big as EDS but totally unknown. We have the chance to set something great in motion. The methodologies are very practical and operational and a lot of thought has got into makeing them something you can really work with.

Cons

The local areas are still quite parochial and the pay is not great. It would be good if the methodologies were actually used a bit more often as well.

Pros

They're willing to spring for a clearance. They have a huge CBT and training library.

Cons

Management in the Norfolk area is absolutely inept. Signing off on contracts without having the funds to back the work, and placing the employees in a battle between CSC and the customer over what is and is not getting done is ridiculous. Taking a contract, without the ability to manage the workers on that contract is horrible. And worst - hiring people with *absolutely no relevant experience* in order to fill seats quickly. How do you hire an Oracle DBA who's never used Oracle before...even at school or some kind of training? How do you hire network engineers who've don't know TCP/IP? And then bill them as 'Sr. Engineers'? CSC's actions at times amounted to just short of outright fraud.

Pros

Government contractor positions in good locations. Local management is generally ok. They have an education reimbursement program. They have a pension plan, which is unusual this day and age.

Cons

HR service is horrible and non-responsive. Annoying online time sheet, even for salaried employees. Pay is on the low-side for jobs in this location and benefits are more expensive than at other tech companies. No stock options or real bonuses. The corporate logo is extremely ugly. Their vacation accrual is stingy. You get three weeks after seven years, but you don't get four weeks until after fourteen years. Review process is also annoying,.
