Pros

Can offer a wide range of opportunities, many of which can be performed remotely. Company has global reach. Current management has completed many streamlining activities to cut to costs which has resulted in a substantial increase in stock price over the past the few years.

Cons

Employee engagement is low and is not seen as a high corporate priority. The industry is very competitive and controlling labor costs is a major factor to meet financial goals. Employee morale is low.

Pros

Comparatively relaxed demands on workers so long as your projects get done. Business unit heads have fair amount of freedom. Company is very visible and looks good on a resume. Pay is near-market, and merit increases are fairly reliable.

Cons

CSC is hemorrhaging money left and right and has been doing so since at least the 80s. Overpaid upper management can't stem the loss, so bonuses for sub-executives are gone, benefits are slashed, and the bench system- where if your business unit closes then you are put on retainer until a new opening appears- is gone. When I started 3 years ago, I could afford the PPO for my whole family, now I can barely manage the HDCP. The company is so large that management has their heads in the clouds about all this- employees drop or get laid off left and right and whole contracts are left to rot, while the CEO and national management hold lavish meetings and huge all-hands conferences to tell us how great everything is. How great is it? So great that the company just split in a desperate attempt to separate the reliable but low-earning public contracts from the bigger, riskier private ones. CSC is a textbook example of a company that had it all then lost it due to bad management, and it has suffered as a workplace for it.

Pros

L6 L7's are trying to do their best and typically work well together; however the lack of company direction and offerings strains relationships among teams.

Cons

Lawrie and his direct reports have absolutely no compassion for employees and any loyalty that employees held for CSC have been smashed to oblivion by the constant RIF's, loss in medical benefits, restructured 401k funding to an annual basis (and loss of employee contributions if axed prior to funding date), forced vacations, pitiful to nonexistent pay raises; Lawrie and team are concerned about the bottom line only. Avoid this company like the plague.
