ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

1, 2, 3, it’s as easy as CSC

Formed in 1959, Computer Sciences Corporation is one of the granddaddies of the IT services industry. It’s a concern that’s holding up as it ages as well, hiring more staff and pulling in more revenue with each passing year. All told, the company employs around 91,000 people in 80 countries around the globe, who together pulled in some $17.3 billion in revenue in 2008. All of that was done from just three major business lines: business solutions and services, global outsourcing services, and the North American public sector.

CSC SURVEY SAYS

Racking up hours

Despite its size and tendency to not mesh its units effectively, CSC insiders report that the firm is "customer- and employee-focused," and that the culture is both "open and flat … in the sense that anyone at any level can work with/communicate with anyone else at any time." That "any time" concept may be more necessary than it first appears, as CSC staffers often find themselves burning the midnight oil—although that varies on a project-by-project basis. "If not staffed on a very intensive project, the work/life balance is very reasonable," says one contact. However, "depending on the project manager and the project, hours can quickly escalate to more than 60."
