It all depends on the account you are on, it's still very siloed. - Systems Administrator CSC Employee Review

Pros

This company is very large and has a large job pool, especially if you are open to relocation. There is a lot of potential for public sector jobs, as long as you can obtain a security clearance. Generous on work-life balance as well as a 'hands-off' approach by managers as long as the work is getting done. The opportunities to excel and gain exposure to new technologies all depends on the client's needs.

Cons

This is a huge organization but is still broken down into silos depending on the account you are on. The managers and staff on each account are many times acquisitions from when the company dept was outsourced to CSC, so their way of thinking is usually the company's, and not CSC's. As a result, the company culture can vary widely among assignments. Internal transfers, however, even with a promotion, do not necessarily bring a satisfying increase as if you went external.

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.
