Job Responsibilities
I was responsible for developing the service pricing for an IT
services firm. Supervised a team responsible for a $367 million
contract consisting of over 1500 individual services spread over
52 North American General Motors automobile manufacturing plants.

Job Requirements
At the time, EDS only hired College graduates with GPA's above
3.3 and honors graduates. I am not sure what the requirements are
now beyond a field related Bachaelors degree.
|
Uppers
I get to work with many interesting people all over North America, including
Canada and Mexico. The work itself is very challenging and analytical.
|
Downers
Long hours due to working with multiple time zones.
|
Lifestyle
Must be available for weekend meetings with upper level management. Low pay for
amount of hours worked.
|
Compensation
Currently the company is lagging the market financially. There
have been many cutbacks and pay freezes so I have only had one
raise (3%) and one bonus in the past three years.
|
Advice to Jobseekers
Seek employment elsewhere. There are much better companies in the
IT services field to work for.
