Just announced; HORRIBLE insurance costs in 2013
Pros
OK place to work at be sty, it really depends on what group you work in. CSC is commonly referred to as a "Collection of Small Companies" due in part to different groups commonly working against one another in a disjointed way. Salary is on target or slightly lower than industry standards depending upon how long you have been employed at CSC. Employees with longer tenure are way more likely to be compensated significantly under market value. Raises are far and few in between.
Cons
One of CSC's strongest offerings has traditionally been it's health insurance plan. CSC just announced that it's 2013 health insurance costs passed onto employees has skyrocketed. For a family (wife, kids, etc) the cost in 2013 will be about 400% more than the same coverage in 2012. My family will now have to pay just under $950/month for coverage that really isn't all that great anyway. My personal belief is that the new CEO (Mike Lawrie) has a big stake in CSC's decision to impact all employees by increasing costs to a point where they are quite literally taking health insurance out of reach for many employees who don't have working spouses whom they can switch their health insurance over to. I'm sure it looked really great on paper when this idea was devised but CSC is only hurting it's most valuable asset...it's own PEOPLE!
