Nobody with any talent wants to work here anymore, not that I can blame any of them. The reputation is shot to he-l. So instead, we're left hiring whoever can't find anything better. The bottom of the barrel. And people wonder why things keep getting worse.

I'm surprised this company exists at all
Question is why.
It was a mess when I left and after several ct closings, I never even hear of dxc anymore
A lot of people who are still at DXC are in their mid 50's. We're done with corporate I.T. We're told every day that AI will take our jobs tomorrow. The writings been on the wall for a decade now. So we're financially ready. We just want our redundancy and then we're retiring. We could do more, but DXC doesn't encourage a culture of improvement. Despite what it says, you get the same 0% no matter how much or how little you do. The smart people realised this, and take their 0% rise, and put in near 0% effort.
If one has skills and knowledge why stay here? You get peanuts and nothing more by staying.
You’re better off leaving and going to a better
job.
In my opinion DXC is a complete joke with some of the absolute d-mbest people ever to hold a CEO, CFO and definitely CHRO titles.
I think the clients have given up as well. They will wait until some stupid £50k bill comes in to achieve nothing, and then say, but we gave that task to your competitors and it cost a quarter of the price and was done in half the time. So we won't be settling your invoice. What did you guys actually do? Just billing the WBS code, as didn't have anything else to do as usual!
@a9 I agree but if you see VD and DA LinkedIn posts they only focus on the new "innovation"centers they can't talk about closing any deals or the share price..it's a sick joke. I can't believe our clients are not up in arms
And when we do manage to hire some good people, they leave right away. We have hired some good people, you just don't know about them because they left so quickly.
It's like everything we do, we've never done it before! All the documentation has to be done from scratch. Most of the budget goes on that. Something is eventually cobbled together. Most of the time is spent navigating the process which regardless how long you've worked anywhere is unfathomable. Or just waiting for approval to do the thing you've been told to do! The management love having endless stand up meetings which they think shows progress. A task that anywhere else would have been a couple of days, turns into a major project which endless people involved all billing that precious WBS code.
I’ve just started on an account in the UK. The calibre of management is appalling. No structure, pointless meetings, no plans and just chaos ahead. They're just winging it big style and as long as the wbs is getting hammered by as many people as possible that’s the main objective. But in the very near future the client’s going to asking a few questions!!
Also what's happening is they have to pay a premium just to get someone in . The team already in place soon learn of rates that are available to complete strangers, and become even more pi---d off. Pretty much to the point of downing tools and refusing to show these high paid newbie anything. They will pay market rate if forced, just not to existing staff.
