Pros
They offer reasonable benefits such as extra holiday. There's absolutely no other pros of CSC. Everyone is putting in for redundancy, suppose you'd think that would mean us juniors get bumped up the career ladder!
Cons
This company is absolutely ridiculous. I joined as a trainee and was provided with a second hand laptop and left to just 'get on with it'! I had absolutely no direction of where my career could lead, how the company actually operated or what services/products they actually sell. Very low morale, feels like your in a prison most of the time. The buildings falling apart and the staff are absolutely miserable. Air conditioning is either freezing cold or boiling hot and when I asked to move desks which was denied and I was told simply 'just something you have to deal with'. Low pay, no pay rises for three years, no training, ridiculous mess of a new POD system which sounds like it was dreamt up by a 10 year old. Ienhance, iaction - this is not a flipping iPod! Data centres in the south east of the U.K. apparently had hundreds of employees at one point, now there's around 10 there....all due to outsourcing offshore. The office I work in feels like some time warp, a mix between a prison and a military camp from the 1990s. Don't even get me started on the damn processes relating to itil, we now have a system for logging tickets based on tickets that have already been logged on other ticketing systems, absolutely daft. Avoid this company.
