Pros

Smart people and good tools. Travel and orther expenses are handed and paid within 30 days. Training was better than other large companies I have worked for in the past. Base yearly pay was better that other consulting companies. However, the cons out numbered the pros.

Cons

100 percent travel all over the United States and over seas. Extened over seas stays of over 3 weeks at one time. No real bonus pay. Your base pay is what you get. Senior Leadership very young and lacked experience. Constant turn over of personnel.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire experienced senior leaders. Pay a real bonus. Keep travel to 60 percent. The travel is a major burn out factor for some of your best employees

Pros

good company to work for if you are not afraid of loosing the contract

Cons

raises are non existent when promoted. Not allowed to have exceptional reviews, some of upper management are disconnected from the real world.

Advice to Senior Management

allow for increases, quit telling employees how much money the company is making and in the same breath not allowing for raises.

Pros

allow somewhat flexible work schedules, large company so potentials there, best practices at your fingertips, good benefits, large clientiel they have

Cons

limited career growth at an account, not much guidance on how to gain it off an acount, they don't really guide you in how to grow your career.

Advice to Senior Management

let your people know they are valued and not just a billable entity, no career guidance on connectivity to greater csc

Pros

Good support from management with respect to comp time when working long hours. I've often worked quite a bit, but management was very understanding when this got to be too much and I needed time off.

The schedule is very flexible, with the ability to work from home one day per week, which saves on gas and allows for the usual office distractions to be taken away. Also, we have one off Friday every two weeks and management is not overly anal about hours worked.

Cons

Without having specific levels of our colleagues, it is tough to see potential for career progression, and therefore tough to scope out the salary potential for a particular position or group.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer more detailed career path to retain employees.
