Pros

Working as a consultant for Computer Sciences Corporation allows you to build a diverse resume. As you work with different clients, you are exposed to a variety of different industries, issues and personalities. You will learn how to work quickly, efficiently and on the fly. Additionally, you'll be able to work with different levels of staff within CSC and on the client side. Other added benefits are the hotel points, frequent flier miles, and credit card points. Working from home on Fridays is also a big bonus. People within CSC are also very friendly and always willing to help whether with client work, a proposal or even for career advice.

Cons

The downsides of working as a consultant for Computer Sciences Corporation is the constant travel. It gets incredibly tiring and you are more often than not sent to remote and random parts of the US. Another major downside to CSC is their terrible compensation for lower level employees. They do not place enough value on the fact that they have bright, young minds working for them. This leads to a high turnover rate, and dissatisfaction and confusion around promotions and raises. In addition, their promotions/raises are incredibly low and actually insignificant when it comes to your paycheck. They are also very reluctant to promote or progress their staff so the career progression opportunities are lacking.

Pros

Good benefits including 401(k) with company match.

Cons

Unrealistic workload. The pay does not match the amount of stress that comes from the amount of work given. They are hiring new employees for the same role offering about $30k-$40k more than they pay those who have been there for years instead of compensating current employees fairly. Management is out of touch. They are so focused on numbers that they cannot clearly see the internal issues that are compromising relationships with customers.
