Pros

work/life balance is good. Since this is a large company there are no bad surprises with pay,benifits.

Cons

Internal training is a joke[like same word, excel, ms-project for years, online book dump], there is no effort to train employees in latest technology, it appears this is seen as a Cost, I can't belive how anyone can survive this market without that. In Americas there is no team building effort except lot of talk from top, no team lunch in a decade and almost no raises tells the story.

Pros

If you're in a good team, you get an opportunity from the management to fill in when new roles open up, irrespective of your experience. If you have ability, you will be pushed. Management is very open and friendly. People above are willing to listen if you have something to say. In general, not much pressure, so you can chill out. Very good crowd at workplace, makes for an interesting work culture. The level of knowledge among some people here is amazing, and they're willing to teach you if you want to learn. Chance to interact with onsite people directly, and not through layers of insulation.

Cons

Generally tend to fill openings, especially in support roles, with freshers. Compensation sucks, and pay hikes are very little compared to industry levels. Some roles are filled with overqualified people, and vice versa. Talent management and learning has to be employee initiated, and informal. Generally no planning as to how to develop and maintain an employee.

Pros

The benefits package is decent. Local managers are pretty good. The compensation isn't bad, and they offer some reasonably decent online training and online tools.

Cons

CSC seems first and foremost in shifting work offshore and consolidating operations. Senior management paints rosy pictures about resources and savings to management that fail to materialize. Offshore resources generally don't have the qualifications that are advertized. The employee review process is a joke, and the beaurocracy is such that their is little incentive or reward for doing a great job. Employees who do the minimum are rewarded just as much as those that go above and beyond. Part of this is the outsourcing model where employees go from having incentives to help the users to a culture where the only desire is to bill as many hours as you can. Also, when we were transiioned, many of the more talented employees left for other jobs.
