Pros

There aren't any. Internal and potential growth is limited. Very political environment. Completely impossible to use the HR portal to get job info for employees, since all contact with potential hiring managers is hidden from employees.

Cons

Very political, huge company, very corporate structure. Structure HR policies that lean more toward protecting management than the working staff. communication within the organization is basically nothing. Management promoted using political framework, not because of abilities, work ethic and skills.

Pros

-good benefits package. -decent pay (although there is room for improvement)

Cons

-communication (you don't know you're doing something wring until someone slaps you in the wrist) -no team meetings to discuss ways that the department can improve -no recognition for job well done -no respect for people's personal lives...holiday schedules given out only the day before the holiday -HR dept. very tight with management, therefore, complaining about your manager mistreating you is often useless -HR invents their own policies, none which are documented in the standard HR guides -HR gives employees the runaround -people who get hired for management positions are very questionable and often not qualified for the job. -CSC cuts employees' breaks when the phones are too busy.

Pros

This company is very large and has a large job pool, especially if you are open to relocation. There is a lot of potential for public sector jobs, as long as you can obtain a security clearance. Generous on work-life balance as well as a 'hands-off' approach by managers as long as the work is getting done. The opportunities to excel and gain exposure to new technologies all depends on the client's needs.

Cons

This is a huge organization but is still broken down into silos depending on the account you are on. The managers and staff on each account are many times acquisitions from when the company dept was outsourced to CSC, so their way of thinking is usually the company's, and not CSC's. As a result, the company culture can vary widely among assignments. Internal transfers, however, even with a promotion, do not necessarily bring a satisfying increase as if you went external.
