Pros
They did provide relocation, at a capped amount The Global Graduate Program was "fun", but was more-or-less indoctrination with little ACTUAL training. The people in the trenches were real, and they help each other as much as possible The check comes in every two weeks, and has yet to bounce.
Cons
I find it funny that when I signed on to work for this company, my contract stated that I get 18 vacation days per year. Suddenly, a company policy changes and now EVERYONE gets their vacation days cut, and whatever is left over is subject to the following: 1) Forced Company Holidays -- this means that they don't really care what you do between Christmas through New Years, you could be working, but you are spending those vacation hours whether you want to or not. 2) You are now only allowed to carry over 40 hours per year. Honestly this wouldn't be a bad thing -- however, they still stick with the model that you get to accrue vacation hours over time--instead of the more logical policy of giving you a lump sum to spend at the beginning of the year if they will all expire at the end of the year anyways. 3)What happens if you are forced to use more vacation hours than you have? I kid you not, the policy states that "You must submit a form which needs to be approved by two levels of management to BORROW vacation hours from next year/the future." Nifty tidbit that: not only did the company set up a system that explicitly strips the employee of something they were promised in a contract (imagine what they do to their customers...), but they now have the system rigged that the employees who recently signed on are, by default, indebted to the company JUST to keep their jobs. Pray that you live/work in California or Conneticut, otherwise you've become a debt slave to this company. Perhaps you think I'm being hyperbolic on the "debt slave" nonsense. I'll break it down: the company's policy is to give you only x number of hours of vacation a year. If you borrow that vacation, the company sees it as an advance, and takes it out of your future vacation hours, and, eventually (when you realize just how horrifying this new policy is), your pay when you attempt to jump ship. They realize the policies are toxic, so they're doing everything they can to shackle lower paid workers down who (typically stuck in the student loan boogie) won't have the chance of escaping. If your last pay is not enough to cover the hours indebted, you now owe the company real money. This is not legal in all states, and yet they are enforcing this policy. When they decide to relocate the Global Graduates (from my experience) they gave them a capped relocation package of $3000 USD. This was fine and all, but it wasn't actually a "benefit," it was a loan. If you lose employment with CSC in any way shape or form from one year from the date you started, you owe the entirety of that relocation package back in a very short time. Don't take the package? probably a good idea, but good luck moving on your own like that, especially when you're just starting your career. This company uses a sleazy underhanded debt-bonding practice to keep their fresh employees working there, with policies that encourage the veteran employees to bail because they can take the loss of leaving this company. Looking for stability? Pray you get on a good contract. At any time, your project could end, and when it does, you've got precious days to find another one and get out to it before you are terminated. Upward mobility? Forget about it, this company does not award things based upon merit but based upon where you are in the old boys club. Seriously, if you have talent, run. Bide your time. Eat more Ramen and wait in your parents basement for the next opportunity. This company is hemorrhaging employees like crazy (when I joined there were over 95,000 employees, now there are around 78,000) because those who have talent and money are jumping ship.
