Very poor management and salary

Senior systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A good work life balance. Very flexible hours, decent management at the lower levels. Good benefits (although you will pay for them).

Cons

Upper management has no real clue of what is happening in the trenches. Pay is on the low end of the salary range for a position. Merit increases almost non-existent, pay increases minimal if they occur at all. After 8 years I was at my same effective salary as 7 years prior. Benefits are tiered, so someone making half as much as you will pay half as much for coverage. Charges for spouse even if you pay for a family plan.

Cheap company which only cares about the bottom line.

Senior systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The co-workers were great bunch of guys who were as experienced as I was. We're all had at least 10 years of IT experience, so there was no spoon feeding necessary. If you like very little management interaction (as I do), I list it as a pro here. Most of the time the managers don't even know that you've showed up to work. The ratio of mgmt to workers is well below industry norm.

Cons

Very little communication from top down. Management is very heavy at the director and above. There were more Directors and VP's on our project than there were managers. And those at the top only knew how to pad the bottom line. Good workers were cut to save money. Newbies were brought in to replace them, but lacked the skills needed to perform the job properly, but CSC saved money in the process. Consider yourself a cattle when you enter CSC.
