Pros

They're willing to spring for a clearance. They have a huge CBT and training library.

Cons

Management in the Norfolk area is absolutely inept. Signing off on contracts without having the funds to back the work, and placing the employees in a battle between CSC and the customer over what is and is not getting done is ridiculous. Taking a contract, without the ability to manage the workers on that contract is horrible. And worst - hiring people with *absolutely no relevant experience* in order to fill seats quickly. How do you hire an Oracle DBA who's never used Oracle before...even at school or some kind of training? How do you hire network engineers who've don't know TCP/IP? And then bill them as 'Sr. Engineers'? CSC's actions at times amounted to just short of outright fraud.

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.
