Pros

Is still a big name for your CV.

Cons

If you are successful, in sales and want to carry on being so, do not join this company. The Central Region is the worst part of CSC. An overwhelmingly negative culture, heavy processes and weak inexperienced leadership ensure any opportunities you might develop are quickly stifled. If you do by some miracle overcome all the odds and get a big deal, they will then jack up your targets to ensure they don´t have to pay you what you are owed in bonus/commission (illegal but they do it anyway). CSC in Central is not the innovative company portrayed on website - they have nothing to sell other than "average resources" for a cheap price (bodyshopping). There is no-one to support you even if you do get a Cyber, App renewal, big data etc project - the German process will kill it. Current "leadership" in Central encourages a culture of nastiness where colleagues undermine each other, spy on each other and where you will be expected to deliver results in 3-4 months or you´ll be kicked out. Happened to many new joiners during my time there. Do not expect any training to help you as you start your new position either. If you are non-white, non Christian, non German... do not join this terrible company. It is a bastion of nastiness with a culture that is rarely seen these days in tech co´s. Total negativity and no loyalty to staff or clients - a horror show. Central Reg leadership has no support from operational leaders in the business which means vicious infighting and net result - increasing financial losses which get bigger each quarter. Leader in Central has no plan for growth and is "completely out of his depth". Only experience prior was in sales with a small software firm. The best you can hope for if you do decide to join CSC is that you are fired quickly so you can get back to working for a decent company where you have a future and a reasonable culture. No-one deserves to do this to themselves... save yourself and your career from CSC in Central. If you are a successful salesperson you will potentially bury your career by joining CSC.

Pros

Good benefits including 401(k) with company match.

Cons

Unrealistic workload. The pay does not match the amount of stress that comes from the amount of work given. They are hiring new employees for the same role offering about $30k-$40k more than they pay those who have been there for years instead of compensating current employees fairly. Management is out of touch. They are so focused on numbers that they cannot clearly see the internal issues that are compromising relationships with customers.
