Pros

Good teams, good people overall that try to do the best they can with limited support and skeleton crews.

Cons

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.
