CSC Reviews in Washington, DC Area

Current Employee – been working at CSC full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Strong client base, global foot print in 80+ countries, new c level management focused on turnaround, high employee loyalty

Cons – Moving as many jobs to India as possible, reducing salaries and benefits, new management places no value on existing managers or employees, poor systems, no investment in training

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at CSC full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Numerous contracts which allowed employees to laterally transfer.

Cons – Managers will stab you in the back. Was pulled from my assignment and replaced behind my back. Upper management was told my government customer fired me for poor job performance. I was given no explination. My customer was told I was moving to another position within the company. Bottom line is I found a job with another company and got a job reference from my former customer.

Former Employee – worked at CSC full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Tuition Assistance
Ability to work remote

Cons – You don't want to work at a Mike Lawrie company. He'll turn around the balance sheet but the employees are just numbers. For example, when he took over he tripled the price of the health care premiums and switched to plans that offered limited coverage. If you look at the total package that CSC offers, they are not competitive in the marketplace.
