CSC - Stay away from the Federal Sector - Principal Computer Scientist CSC Employee Review

Pros

If you can get into a good group/project, you may be able to survive for a while. If you have a good manager, you will have flexibility in work schedules and projects, but the "processes" are very difficult to work around.

Cons

The Federal Sector is not the place to be. There is no budget for training, conferences, certifications or any other form of technical advancement. You are on your own.

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.
