Pros

There is supposedly potential for equity upside

Cons

- Long hours. - Awful pay and culture. - Unwilling to invest anything into training employees. I understand the philosophy of working at a lean startup organization requires individuals to step up, but what about the most rudimentary tools... LIKE A WORKING LAPTOP? - Highly unethical employment practices that take advantage of future employees

The fact that you weren't even offered a working laptop is embarrassing to hear - but I can assure you that we would have rectified this had you raised the issue. Nevertheless, if you could contact us at devin(at)cscgeneration.com with more details so we can ensure this doesn't happen again, we will donate $500 to the charity of your choice. Thank you for the feedback.

Pros

Read the "cons" and make your own opinion...

Cons

If you enjoy programming, care about clean code, or take pride in your craft, do yourself a monumental favor: run. This company is where good developers go to die inside. Passion? Innovation? Engineering excellence? These are foreign concepts here — dismissed, ignored, or actively sabotaged by a sea of mediocrity; these aren’t just absent — they’re actively viewed as threats to the status quo, which is built entirely on apathy, technical debt, and astonishing incompetence masquerading as leadership. Forget clean architecture. Mention design patterns or object-oriented principles, and you'll be met with blank stares. Unit testing? Integration testing? Not here. CI/CD pipelines? In your dreams. They treat basic industry standards like dangerous heresy. The only thing that flows smoothly is the river of spaghetti code — tangled, brittle, bug-ridden, and proudly defended by people who don't understand how a cloud architecture should be or how to implement a strategy pattern. Bugs are the day-to-day thing, fixing one brings a couple to life, the never-ending story. A disaster. Management? Completely detached. Their solution to systemic problems is to schedule more meetings, assign blame in creative new ways, and promote the voice with more words in the room, regardless of competence. Agile, in their eyes, simply means “hurry up and break things, preferably in prod.” Working here isn’t just frustrating — it’s soul-eroding. You won’t grow. You won’t learn. You’ll survive, at best, and question every choice that led you to this professional purgatory. Avoid this company like legacy PHP. Your future self will thank you. Working here isn’t just a waste of your time — it’s a slow drain on your confidence, your skills, and your will to code. You won’t grow. You won’t learn. You’ll stagnate in a fog of mediocrity until burnout feels like a vacation.

We would really appreciate the opportunity to speak to you to get more detailed feedback regarding your experience, as it certainly doesn't match the experience of the vast majority of our software engineers, which is reflected in surveys and industry leading retention.

Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

CSC bought the successful company I worked for and ran us out of business in about 18 months. They took away our Aetna healthcare and gave us a plan that no one had ever heard of and only covered ONE doctor in Northeast Ohio. They switched our earned PTO to "unlimited" PTO and then complained that we "used too much PTO". Mind you, I didn't use any more than I had previously earned. They are terrible to work for and have no idea what they're doing.

As you state in your review, it is meant for one of CSC's independent operating companies. We strongly encourage you to move your review to the appropriate location - https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-AmeriMark-Interactive-EI_IE38651.11,32.htm - so it can be reviewed by the appropriate teams.
