Pros

Good flexible rewards package. Plenty of opportunities for development. Good e-Learning tools.

Cons

No work life balance for those working on the front line delivering to clients. 60+ hours a week was needed. Not to delivery the projects but for all the CSC administration. Mobile workers could spend a couple of hours each week booking hotels and processing their expenses claims. Emails requesting internal admin tasks would arrive in rapid succession. There was compulsory training models that could only be done in ones 'spare time'. Reporting and admin tools were getting better but still behind the curve. It was the old case of cobblers children with no shoes.

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.
