The Company I Work For

I have joined CSC (formerly known as CSA) since July 2008. This post is about my experience in CSC, specially only on my division/group. Other group might be different. Many said CSC follows a Chinaman management with saying like "If it's not broken, don't change it".

First of all, talking about management, CSC encourages employees to propose and submit papers on their innovative ideas of what's gonna be the next big thing. Lately, we're talking about Going Green and Earth Hour this March 28. CSC also take part in the Corporate Social Responsibility in Green IT, which will be my potential research topic for MBA. Basically about making greener data centre (re-cyclable materials), better efficiency of power consumption through virtualization, etc. It then turns to be a business value proposition to client, a win-win idea for both society and customer.

Food wise, working in CSC Malaysia in PJ has limited choices for food, boring. CSC fellow knows exactly what I mean, either the food opposite UTAR, or M&M cafe, Malay food or opposite Honeywell. Once in a while, we will go out to Section 17 as well.

However, there are unlimited Milo, Nescafe, Nespray, Lipton in provided in pantry (refilled twice everyday). Whoever works in Call Centre has vending machine with "near free" beverages -> Rm0.10 (where can you find 10 cent drinks these day?).

10 cent drinks
The gym is rather small but can say sufficient equipment lor, forcibly.
The gym

Food in M&M

The parking area is rather limited if you come late, many even double parking their car. Currently there is a new parking space is beside CSC building, but have to pay :( You can opt for RM65 per month or RM4/day if you wish to park there. But still, I would rather park my car a little further to save RM4 for bfast :p

Our CSC Funniest Office Video
It actually took us 2 weeks to prepare this video, kinda rush but we finally made it, special thanks to Juli, Barry, Bryan and others who have put effort in making this video a success. We had definitely worked it through till late night with empty stomach (no dinner yet). I remembered how all of us complaining hungry all the night long, haha. That followed with a nice supper at Murni, SS2. Cheers for the victory !!

Finally, I am a Sun Certified System Admin (SCSA). FYI, to be SCSA, a candidate has to pass the 2 exam papers (CX-310-200) and (CX-310-202) at Prometric Testing Centre. This is my first IT professional certification which I am very proud of.
