Pros
-CSC is very stable, family-friendly, and it is not at all like some IT jobs I have had at startups/schools. They respect your time and your family. Things aren't always on fire and there aren't never-ending projects. -At least in salaried roles, they treat you like an adult. There isn't anyone marking down the time you leave, or locking down everything on the internet. -The upper leadership teams do care about their employees. I have seen them go out of their way to help employees at home and work around any issue. Mark Rosser, the VP in Tallahassee, FL is an amazing leader. He has fought for people he didn't have to, in meetings we would never have representation many times. -They try to invest in the best technology for the task. They don't always get it right (Look at how many HR systems we have gone through), but they do listen to employee feedback. -I can't speak for other offices, but the Tallahassee office at least is a very close group. I once left my truck lights on and I had at least 10 people come and tell me before I could go turn them off. A lot of the employees are friends outside of work and everyone generally gets along. People who are abrasive don't tend to stay too long. -They listen to people. We have workplace surveys and exit interviews that leaders place a lot of weight in. Our CEO says he reads every comment, which I believe. -They love to promote within. Look at Shawn Dutton, who is in the role one step below Director. He started at Help Desk and moved his way up in CSC over 13 years. -The 401k plans are stellar. Managed by Vanguard with a lot of options and good matching (6%).
Cons
-There are a few lower-level managers that people have issues with. They get complaints a fair bit but don't seem to improve any. This may be because of CSC's extreme aversion to firing anyone, which is both a blessing and a curse. There aren't too many of these, though. So make sure to get a good feel for your manager's personality in the interview. -The technical interviews aren't tough enough for some roles. A fair amount of interviews don't ask any technical questions, which worries me. -It doesn't happen often, but they have brought in external managers who are far too metric focused. Of the ones I have seen, most have already left. But this still leads to a nonproductive environment for a little bit.
