My experience with CSC.
1. I have an interview with the HR guy. All seems to go well. He arranges for my to have a technical interview over the phone.
2. I have the technical interview that went very well. The tech guy interviewer and hit it off.
3. The HR guy calls me back and asks me if I can come back to meet him on Friday. I look at my calendar and tell him that I am scheduled all day (other interviews). HR guy tells me to meet him on Monday.
4. I show up to meet HR guy on Monday -- he isn't in the office.
5. I call HR guy. He will not take or return my call.
6. I call the Tech guy I interviewed with. He says he does not know what is going on buy will see if he can find out.
7. Tech guy calls me back and tells me the HR guy is upset with me because I would not come to interview on Friday as he first requested. To punish me, HR guy had me come back when he was not going to be there.

In short, CSC is just a jerkwad company. Don't bother with them.

The bottom line is that people don't know how to do their jobs anymore. It has become about fitting in rather than results. I can remember the day when people were fired because they weren't doing their job even though they were nice people but the jerk who made the numbers was kept on. It's not like that anymore. Incompetency and butt kissing is what keeps one employed these days.

I have encountered a similar situation with Capgemini and JPL. HR egos run high and this is bad for the companies they're working for. By acting the way they're, they might loose top candidates.

CSC is reeling from compromises in reputation in a host of locations, though their extraordinarily high paying contract awards continue to come in from everywhere.
