Pros

Much of the culture of CSC depends on the specific contract you are employed under. I really enjoy the people I work with and the practices of the subset of the company I am with. My position is an excellent fit for my skills and the people I work with appreciate what I do.

Cons

The CSC corporate office has been handing down new decisions every few months since Lawrie's arrival that are designed solely to please shareholders, boost the stock price, and ensure Lawrie's stock option bonuses are granted. The most recent vacation policy change that mandates taking a week of vacation on CSC-designated days and expires vacation not taken in the year it was earned is simply an accounting trick to remove the 'vacation liability' before CSC's fiscal year-end reporting.

Pros

I worked with highly motivated and wonderful colleagues and managers. This was a good team environment with people helping each other grow in skills and meet deadlines. The last reorg was a good thing, at least for streamlining the organization: you knew who your management chain was.

Cons

New CSC HR policies (forced ranking, managed vacation, expensive benefits, very limited raises, etc.) are making it difficult to keep people, even college hires. Low pay for high responsibility: don't expect a jump in pay when promoted.

Pros

They are lean and ready for future challenges. They are positioned well in Europe. Excellent benefits and working terms. Infrastructure is excellent and well positioned to handle an increased demand.

Cons

Little innovation. Everything shouldn't have to be customer financed. Modern technologies need to be in the for front. Training strategies have been lacking but are now coming into place.
