Pros

I always had opportunity to try beyond my comfort zone. At least my manager was supportive of my novel ideas and made sure I got the visibility I needed withing the group. Generally, my colleagues were supportive and helpful. If you are single and love to travel, there are opportunities for that as well. It is a good company to start your career. But eventually you may want to look for better opportunities.

Cons

Pay hikes are less in amount and in frequency. There is almost no growth in terms of new business except for occasional new clients. The management should learn to treat employees better (not that now they treat badly).

Pros

Genuine pension plan! I don't know how it compares to other companies that have pension plans, but if I stay for 5 years, I can expect about 12% of my salary in retirement. We have some top-notch people.

Cons

To be fair, our office is small, and opportunities for government contractors are shrinking in this locality. Nevertheless, local management is not very involved, and distant management shows no interest whatever in this office. I don't feel like a part of a large company, rather just a vehicle for sending money to HQ. Paltry vacation allowance (2 weeks for first 4 years), very out of step with Silicon Valley. No education benefit unless you're in a degree program - they must think their online courses are adequate. No pay bonuses worth speaking of. If contracts don't come through on time, they would rather furlough employees than let them do training on company time. Matching contributions to 401K don't amount to much (seems to be max $1500) and there's a 4 or 5 year vesting period; however, we do have a pension plan.

Pros

It pays you good compared to other companies. Work Env. is good. CSC also carries a brand value. But, CSC is ruining it by their own hands.

Cons

1. Politics ruin the whole enviornment. 2. Managers have no more technical touch. Donot even care to go through the requirement. 3. Lot of disparity shown between employees.
