Vantaggi
Don't believe all the recent positive reviews. If you look, many came in soon after CSC got named one of the worst companies to work for (and a lot are from India). There is absolutely nothing that CSC has done for their employees that would explain the uptick in their ratings. It's like shill bidding. Look at the ratings trend chart. Never missed a paycheck. Leading edge projects come up. Managers take an interest in what you are doing. The people you work with are normally great.
Svantaggi
Never missed a paycheck, although they never miss forcing a furlough or insulting payouts to reduce vacation balance (I think it was 50% on the dollar one year, and last time it was an even more insulting 40%. Which keep in mind, you have to pay taxes on). Leading edge projects come up. Problem is, they lack the expertise to implement because they fired anyone with actual knowledge, or buy companies with the requisite strengths but those people flee also because of the poor benefits. Needed project expertise will be filled using either highly overpaid contractors, or 5 times the amount of unqualified offshore resources. So when the customer needs support on something either one, the actual qualified resource left because he is a contractor or working for some other consulting firm, or two, you get 3 offshore people trying to figure out what did who in the butt. CSC operating model is like getting 9 women pregnant and expecting them to deliver a child in one month. Managers take an interest in what you are doing. It will probably be the 4th or 5th manager you've had since the first transition before the last CEO came aboard. They don't actually know what you do. They all have cost takeouts in their performance plans (cost takeout is a euphemism for less headcount). If you have a manager who actually cares about you, well, they don't have time to actually manage you, they are managing the insane amount of crap data that has to be generated to make it look like their team is doing something. Can't manage to figure out that you need to know how to support what you are selling. You need to have the required resources to do the work when the ink dries, not afterwards. Project after project is just an epic failure because no one asks if what was sold is what can actually be delivered. Don't expect any chances for career growth, unless someone decides to leave, then you will probably get an offer of 5-10% to do 25-50% more work. Of course, it will be a critical need, but don't expect much thanks. Or they will hire from outside and pay that person market rates, while you are stuck with your no raise in five years IOU thank you for being stupid enough to stay here.
