Pros

Good people, many worked in the company for years and watched the company change quite dramatically in recent years. Overall, a very fast paced work environment, can be challenging and very interesting.

Cons

Over the last several years the company has been going through a continuous reorganization while trying to change its strategy and improve financial performance. As a result. its turning into a revolving door environment with top level management being replaced every 9-12 months. This is very demoralizing for employees, as nobody feels safe or really appreciated - anybody can be laid off at any time, regardless of their actual merits and performance. Communication across organization is very week and the strategy seems to change all the time. Good performers are looking to leave and many do, before yet another round of "reorganization". This puts more and more burden to do more with less on the remaining workforce.

Pros

Easy hiring and on-boarding process. They have facilities all over the place so it's easy to work near where you live. My day to day coworkers are very friendly and diligent and we always do great work for our customer. I'm lucky to belong to a small team with a culture of winning; I like to think that we are good in spite of upper management, not because of them.

Cons

Low pay (I could make more delivering packages with UPS); expensive medical premiums; no opportunities for program-level employees to have any say-so or influence on the central company; stiff or non-existent raises; no room for advancement; overly strict/paranoid IT policies impede knowledge work. The particular customer I'm serving seems to have less and less money each year, so we see forced layoffs on a yearly basis, and the company makes very little effort to re-seat employees whose job went away, they just lay them off. The customer's money drying up isn't CSC's fault, but it feels like each year is more arduous than the last, and as I keep getting selected to remain on the team for the next year, I get more and more survivor's guilt. This isn't a place that you can work at as a 25-30 year career, because the company as a whole seems to be getting less and less business, laying off both direct and indirect employees, and adopting radical anti-employee policies in an attempt to keep the executives' payroll steadily increasing. At the macro level, padding the execs' pockets may be the ONLY thing the company actually succeeds at, but they do it at the expense of the little guy.

A RACIST PLACE TO WORK

Pros

I dont have anything positive to say about my work experience with this company. And I mean absolutely nothing. NOTHING!!!

Cons

If you are not a WHITE employee you can forget a promotion, raise or respect in this place. If you voice an opinion about the obvious issue's your ostracized and blackballed. They work you to death for little pay. There is no work life balance at all. You work overtime with no overtime pay. And reporting it does nothing for you. They will always take management side. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. You are so much better than this company. BEWARE.!!!
