Technology worker point of view. Cons: * some people are _really_ smart, can learn a lot from them. * teams generally(with few exceptions) care about their work. * UX and Cyber Security are taken especially seriously. * can work from home. Pros: * bureaucracy, a LOT of it (even by big-financial-conglomerate's standards), it's just everywhere. * corporate bravado. * some teams don't care about quality of their modules at all.

CEO Mike Lawrie has destroyed the company. Stay away from CSC/DXC. It is the worst employer. Dishonest, cheat, and unethical CEO and other people in top management. They have been cheating employees and stopped upgrading their products. All money saved goes in the pockets of CEO and very few top management people. CEO Mike Lawrie is the worst person that one can think of.

The flexible schedule and generally laid back culture are great. Aging tools and technologies combine with gobs of red tape to make actually getting work done difficult. There have been plans in place for years to update these processes, but I expect it to take a few more before any headway is made. Most projects attempt to follow SCRUM methodologies, but waterfall contracts make that a constant struggle. Requirements tend to be poorly defined with details left to individual developers. As a result, there are frequently wildly different solutions to common problems, even within a project.
