Company in Transition

Pros

Fairly high autonomy to do job. Base pay higher than the software companies, lower than Big 4. Reputation of company employees tends to be above average. Several highly successful projects over last few years. It remains possible to get great experience at CSC.

Cons

Company is in major transition. Benefits becoming increasingly more expensive, and had above average costs before. Base pay being reduced in some cases. Administrative support has become minimal so adds stress to the job. Travel policy is restrictive.

Pros

If you have ambitions it’s possible to develop and excel, and achieve recognition for your contributions. Our group of graduates has occasionally some late hour drinks and it’s a fun and nice way to socialize. The most fun part of this job is the small victories that you get all day, the things you wouldn’t imagine to do three months ago is suddenly possible.

Cons

Well, I think that the food in the canteen could be a bit better, but I think everything else is great! The big diversity of people here is great, people speak differently, are nice and casual. You don’t need to wear a suit if you don’t want to, which is a plus for the diversity and culture.

Pros

I can't seem to find any. See the list of cons and do yourself a favor and stay away from this company!

Cons

Condensing into a list to keep the read short. - Underpaid Employees for the role they are hired to perform. CSC constantly fills vacancies with the lowest paid person they can find, and proceed to give zero training. Leaving the new hire in a bad light with the client as well as with their own management. - Management is not engaged at all. This includes employee managers and account managers. Be careful if you are entering a contract with this company - they are going to be unfair and look for ways to give you as little as possible. - Consistently bring on new individuals in a contract to hire type position, promising frequently that they will be 'converted' to CSC. They use a sister company to hire their new employees. The sister company has no health benefits and pays even less than CSC's horrible introductory rates. - Coaching/training does not exist. Senior management will commit to something with the client and proceed to not communicate it properly with the workers. When the workers make a mistake, they are held as the sole person accountable and will be written-up or let go. Now that I am on the client side I get to see how terribly they function on the leadership level. They fail to meet commitments, cannot provide reports for the service that I am paying them for, and drop the ball on every project that they have ever been involved in. I have now worked with 6 different leaders directly, countless more indirectly, each of them has clearly no leadership capability and is simply there to 'keep the lights on' at any cost. Any cost. This is what comes to mind in a short 5 minute window to write this block of text. There is so much more that could easily be voiced here and many examples given, but isn't worth my or your time. Steer clear, find somewhere else to work and avoid like you would avoid a plague!
