CSC Brand

CSC is the third largest IT services company ranked 4 & 5 in 05 & 06 respectively. Fortune Rank is 141 and has 48 years of experience, 11th year in India. 70% revenue comes from the Federal Govt. Projects, Dept of Defense, NASA etc , second largest after EDS in Infrastructure support services. From the Apollo 11 to Path Finder on mars all used CSC's Technology.

Work Culture

Salary/Hike

Regarding the package whatever gross salary would be mentioned on your offer letter, you would be getting the same amount. There is no deduction in the salary! You get a good in hand salary in CSC!!

Hike in your package depends on your performance. You will be appraised twice in a year and salary will be increased once basis these two appraisals ratings. While working with CSC, you'll not only have a good package, but you'll also have an unending road of learning and trainings. CSC believes in providing world class tech. and dev. trainings to its employees. Believe me, you'll grow not only financially but skill wise, and again it depends on the person. If you do not wish to grow, you can't, whether it's CSC or Microsoft. I hope you've got your answer.

Training

An Intern is your designation for the first year. According to 2005: Guys getting 20k ka package got into GIS and 25k package people got into FSG/GTS depending on the requirement! They ask the passport details for FSG and GTS guys as they get good onsite opportunities. Not required for GIS guys!! You won't be getting much of Onsite opportunities! GIS is all about giving support to your client! No development is involved!

And you cannot change your department atleast for 2 years! And after 2 years you wouldn't want to!

Regarding training: I have already mentioned many things about GIS. For GIS the first three months will be training which will consist of A+ basic hardware training, CCNA and then project specific training. Project specific training will vary from team to team. Some will go for MCSE related training some will go for Unix related. Other fields include Networks, DBA, Scripting, Monitoring, etc. You will also undergo one week voice and accent training.

Similarly a note on training. Yes, I agree CSC has an excellent training and development program; but in my experience most of the learning happen through on the job training. The work that you'll do in CSC won't be that challenging. Additionally you have very little chance of interacting with the end clients. These things would be big negatives on your resume when you try to switch.

Work

CSC is a services company! Not much of development is there in FSG and GTS as well! You support the existing software! Regarding GIS, yes you need to work in shifts. You need to provide support to your client. Your shift timings/night shifts depend upon your client. You might work in UNIX ,Windows (System Administration) might go into networking field, there are lots of subdivisions in GIS as well your division will be told to you after you join CSC!!

Facilities

In Noida 8th CSC building is coming up shortly!! The divisions are FSG/GTS (termed as systems) and GIS.
