CSC reviews

Simply the most psychotic environment I've ever been in. The "merger" with HPE Services (formerly EDS) is evidently leading to waves of thousands of layoffs. I knew one person who came off a successful engagement and was laid off the very next day. North American Consulting is taking the brunt of the massive arbitrary reductions evidently because other countries simply don't allow such. Many talented people who were recently hired were laid off without warning - more likely due to contractual requirements in the HPE Services "Merger". This has created a spooky culture of "who's going to die next?!" - which includes management all the way up. I watched numerous talented managers simply quit and go elsewhere because they could not stomach the carnage. Same for very talented consultants. The CEO is on a "digital transformation" binge and core business areas are being left in the dust and creating angry customers who are switching to more professional and reliable consulting organizations. People are laid off with no warning and it has had a chilling effect throughout the company. There's a general feeling that no valuable leadership is in place in North America.

Absolutely NO regard for employees. As CSC misses revenue targets, they simply reduce the workforce. It's a CSC term; RIF (reduction in workforce). Those remaining are overworked, unsupported and fearful of losing their jobs. Management other than those reporting directly into the CEO (L2s) fear for their jobs and calously do what they need to do to keep those jobs. It is a toxic environment. Layoffs will continue for the forseeable future as CSC looks forward to the acquisition of HPE. CSC is racing to develop "next gen" services to backfill for the lose in outsourcing revenue. Other firms will get there before CSC.
