Bleeding, so take it out on employee benefits

Principal

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A job. A great alternative to not having one. If you have choices, this shouldn't be your first, or second, or third. The client is nice too. That smiling face of Lawrie's you see plastered everywhere at CSC - it's him laughing at all the money he'll make in bonuses as gives it to the employees' benefits. Fortunately, I'm far from those guys and it makes this job bearable.

Cons

Constant emails from HQ telling us how a great, wonderful initiative is taking place at the expense of employee benefits. Do your research here and elsewhere about this company. Again, this should not be your first choice.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great leadership in consulting service organization as well as corporate headquarters. Strategic thinkers who value and encourage employers to provide ideas but also empowering them to execute on the ideas they provide. This leads to great support from the leadership team both on and off field services organization.

Cons

Great leadership, strategic vision, and resources to execute is only good if there are project opportunities. Very limited client portfolio.

CSC Turnaround -- a lesson in what not to do

Principal

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Comments specifically reflect experience working for internal operations in Falls Church. -- Colleagues among the most knowledgeable, dedicated and loyal that I've ever met at any company I've worked for and with. Their tolerance for pain, pressure, and unnecessary complexity and red tape is higher than their executive leadership is aware of and certainly deserves. The business operations folks are not given nearly enough respect for holding the back end of the company together. for so many years despite antiquated infrastructure and lack of reinvestment back into the company. Pleased that the NPS team has broken off and given the opportunity to be successful as a separate entity.

Cons

Again, comments specifically reflect experience working for internal operations in Falls Church. -- Outdated infrastructure, non-standardized and non-documented policies and processes, convoluted business acquisition strategies, executive "finger pointing" and infighting have crippled the company. After contributing years of blood, sweat and tears, many of CSC's most loyal have finally had enough and are walking away.
