Pros

1. Outsourcing...In other words, you really have no choice, you've been outsourced and now work for CSC. 2. Avoiding starvation and foreclosure, or at least avoiding immediate job hunting in a slow market.

Cons

1. Obsolete and troublesome internal systems and processes (spreadsheets+Lotus Notes databases+Web 0.1 technology) 2. IT decisions and direction dictated by salesmen and accountants 3. Tactical decisions based not in reality - worrying about patching harmless vulnerabilities on systems living on trusted links while old boxes running telnet and ftp remain on the wire. 4. Spend the majority of time on clerical tasks and bureaucracy

Pros

Good benefits including 401(k) with company match.

Cons

Unrealistic workload. The pay does not match the amount of stress that comes from the amount of work given. They are hiring new employees for the same role offering about $30k-$40k more than they pay those who have been there for years instead of compensating current employees fairly. Management is out of touch. They are so focused on numbers that they cannot clearly see the internal issues that are compromising relationships with customers.
