CSX reviews

-Since the arrival of CEO Steve Angel, employee experience has deteriorated rapidly -Abruptly forced return to office 5 days a week with ~2 months' notice after being successfully fully remote for 5 years -Employee benefits have been steadily reduced. Discontinuation of the Well-being Reimbursement Account (WRA) and elimination of the Student Loan Repayment Program -Promotions are difficult unless you’re on teams with the right funding and executive attention -Upper management frequently makes short-sighted, cost-cutting decisions that ignore long-term impact on employees and systems -High CEO turnover pattern. Leaders come in, cut costs aggressively, then leave -Frequent layoffs and continued uncertainty about further cuts -Employees are stretched thin across many critical systems with limited backfill -Overall employee morale is low and trending downward -Hard to recommend CSX leadership to someone actively seeking stability and growth

Not a great time to work in technology for CSX. New CEO is cutting into employee pay and benefits. Told to expect substantial increases in health insurance pemiums in 2027. Cut student loan payment perk ($200/month), Wellness Reimbursement Plan, and is requriing all employees return to the office in 2026 regardless of role. Leadership’s recent shift toward rigid, top-down policies has been discouraging for employees and is driving attrition across multiple departments. Many of the people leaving — or looking to leave — are the same subject-matter experts who support mission-critical Tier 0 applications that only one or two individuals fully understand. Prioritizing short-term profit over employee well-being jeopardizes long-term stability, operational resilience, and the trust of the workforce. The company culture quickly shifted to OneCSX for all to CSX for One, Steve Angel.
