CSC reviews

- In the past several years, the company has undergone a large 'turnaround', at the expense of massive attrition, layoffs, and cost-cutting in the name of operational efficiency. Many of the older employees loyal to the company are leaving/getting let go and there are incentive programs to bring in less experienced consultants to replace them at lower operational cost to CSC. - This year, there is essentially no bonus structure, there were little to no raises, and the client-billable utilization rate was changed to 95% for all consultants. This - combined with a new vacation policy that encourages employees to 'bank' on PTO at 40% salary or only carry over 40 hours of vacation into the new year - makes holding onto or using vacation almost impossible if hoping to maintain your job. Performance reviews are conducted using a bell scale method with ratings from 1 - 4. - No flex travel. Company travel needs receipts for anything greater than $5 - expensing is tedious and takes too much time. No reward program for corporate AMEX card. - The company has recently (within the past week) been in the news about looking to sell the business, rumored to Blackstone LLC - Little to no training budget. There is internal IP and an internal 'CSC University' course portal, but not much allocated for more expensive professional certifications. - Take good care of your CSC-issued laptop! Most are budget models and it's not easy to get a new one.

Hours, no raises, no bonus. Goal to cut staff by 40% to get employees to self pay for a relocation to one of their new centers. The only benefit is going away. Reorgs every other week. Revolving door. Horrible expensive benefits. 401k match only happens once a year at the end of the year. Forced vacations so you can't go on vacation when you want. You spend most of your time thinking about what to do NOT to get laid off that month. Contracts being signed are for solutions that are not defined. CSC tells customer that we have implemented and we build the solution using the first sucker who buys it. No architects involved in design. No documentation that is accurate which allows people to secure their jobs by not sharing what they do. No teaming or recognition.
