I used to send racey notes to the best looking women
I used to send real racey note to the best looking women working at DST and sign my bosses name to them. It gave him a bad shirt chasing rep.
Ahh....payback is sweet
Yes I was not given the recognition I deserved at DST. So I found another job (easy to do). Then in the exit interview I acted very grateful, but told the H.R. rep and in writing, that my manager hated DST and not a team player. Which was true 100%... — read more
Good ol boys club
At the DST Engineering dept in El Dorado hills, the good ol boys club is alive and well. Oh sure, MF will hire a token non-white person every now and then, just to keep the HR dept off his back and shut them up. But make no mistake, good ol boys get... — read more

This company is going down the tubes!
The stock price has dropped. The stock has a "Sell" recommendation now. The CEO Steve Towle has just dumped about a half a million dollars worth of his stock, which shows what direction he thinks it's going. If I owned stock in this company, I'd... — read more
Liquidation of the ESOP????
The board/management has long used the ESOP to effectively keep a large portion of the corporate stock off of the market and thereby within their control. Is the rumor of the ESOP being liquidated soon true? Have others heard this rumor?
A very poorly managed company
A very poorly managed company. DST Output has a well known, well deserved reputation for layoffs. Every few years they decimate large departments. In between the layoffs, they over-hire. After all, there is no one to layoff if they aren't hired in... — read more

Bob Gould award?
Nothing wrong with incenting the youth at colleges. But wasn't Bob a very short-timer at DST? 1 to 2 years max? And he made changes that a lot of people and management didn't exactly like? Changes that didn't pan out in the long term? Whats the deal... — read more

DST Output name change
You know, just changing the name from DST Output to DST Customer Communications does not remove the stench associated with this division. It's still crappy old Output to me. I look forward to the day when this whole division gets shut down and... — read more
All employment agencies have a "blacklist". Many DSTer's on it...
There is a "city wide" employment agency "blacklist". Recruiters all know each other, go to networking events, pass each other names of good candidates for referral fees. However if your a "bad apple" most all employment agencies will know that -... — read more
DST used to.....
When I started decades ago, DST would give you an advance on pay. All you had to do was ask your manager and he would do the rest. Then they started downhill and stopped that.....
More to come.
More layoffs coming. One business unit was told by management how bad it was in an effort to be "transparent". The next slide in the presentation was three new V.P.'s were just hired. No loyalty, no promoting from within. One business unit promoted 5... — read more
What does dst stand for?
Does it mean anything?
DST Managers should never do this!
Never make a person pay for a mistake they didn't make! Blame the specific person that actually wrote the bad code - not someone else! Because employees will undermine a Manager who mindlessly blames the wrong associate. I have seen it many a time!
Got a nice Xmas bonus - thank you DST!
Thanks to DST for the nice bonus, sure helps around this time of year with holiday expenses! Dst is a good place to be
Merry Christmas to all DST Systems executives!
Ignore the people posting here and enjoy your holiday. People at the top are always criticized anyway. Ignore and party on!
I love the DST. It is a fine organization. The staff is knowledgeable. There is funds for returning to university for advanced degree.
I love the DST. I would work here my hole career if given the opportunity. It is intellectual work. It is pressing and important. I enjoy it.

Good place to work
Always work todo. Stable. Easy to get promoted. Pay is lower than average
I think DST is a typical place - get what you put into it
Its an average company. Work hard, treat fellow employees with respect - then you get somewhere. People do have a reputation here. If your a great person everyone knows it. If your a jerk people know it. How you treat others WILL impact your success... — read more

What happened to the DST "Blacklist" of former employees?
I worked for a placement agency. DST had a blacklist of former employees not eligible to re-hire. Kelly Holder had it in her desk drawer. Does DST still have a blacklist policy? Kelly gave me a copy but I misplaced it. It was many pages long with the... — read more
HR = Nazi's
