Pros

I really loved working at CSC up until about 1 year after Mike Lawrie became CEO. The pay was competitive but I most enjoyed the job because of the people I worked directly with. Having joined the company mid-career I was fortunate to pick up on some great experiences that continue to carry me forward for other career opportunities. My role was 100% remote with travel to customer facilities which I very much enjoyed. I was always able to look forward to some interesting travel which took me to places that I had never experienced.

Cons

I missed the childhood of my youngest because of the demand from travel. It was just part of the job. The company culture took a steep dive after Mike Lawrie came aboard to carve up the company to sell. Morale hit an all time low and I decided that CSC was no longer a place I could all home which led me to consider other job opportunities outside the company. I do miss my old peeps but staying would have been at the expense of my own health always wondering and worrying if the pink slip would shown up tomorrow. I still maintain a friendship with some of my old coworkers who tell me that things have not gotten any better; perhaps maybe even worse than when I left the company over 2 years ago. This reinforces that it was a good time for me to leave when I did.

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.
