Vantaggi
A company that has embraced change. A lot has happened since 2011-12. There were accounting irregularities, previous CEO was let go and new CEO came and did sweeping changes, including trimming middle management fat and getting the company back to profitability. The company is doing major alliances in the cloud space and bought niche companies in order to build competencies across various areas.
Svantaggi
Because CSC has bought around 5 companies in one year plus it has announced merger with HPE, this is a period of immense uncertainty. Acquired entities were obviously bought at a premium and so CSC is now squeezing these to recover the costs. Integrations are going on but this is a rough time. Some people have been let go, others have lost their positions, salaries, benefits and power. In the process, company is losing some good talented people and real talent is always costly to recruit and rare to find.
