Pros
- The people are mostly very nice. - If you want to make a career out of working for CSC, you can. Many people on my project had been at CSC for 10, 20, or 30 years. - The company has good opportunities to move laterally to other projects and offices. Several members of my team did exactly that, and their new projects worked out well for them. I would consider rejoining CSC, given a better project. - They provide a good variety of free lunches and dinners during crunch times. - CSC has a great online training library, including a subscription to Books24x7. - CSC brought in some great consultants to help our struggling project. - Several of my managers did a fantastic job, considering the project's circumstances.
Cons
- Reorgs on my project were frequent and did not consider my skill set. - The annual turnover rate on my project was over 50%. Most staff that left cited frequently working nights and weekends as their primary reason for leaving. CSC employees that worked overtime were not paid for it, though subcontractors were. - Most of the project staff had low to very low morale. - Our office had a distracting work environment compared to the other places where I have worked. - Meetings took up most of the day and included many more people than they needed to. - Three rounds of layoffs, affecting CSC and subcontractors' employees, occurred on my project in about a 6-month period. Fortunately, most CSC employees stayed safe from this. - My performance review was done by someone that I didn't report to.
