I started here excited and now I spend my days fighting broken systems with no raises. Management seems out of touch and benefits are continuously shrinking, so the job feels like a grind with less reward. If you are early in your career think twice before locking yourself in.

Realize your mistake and move on as soon as possible. This company is not going anywhere unfortunately. The executives spend most of their time on work force reduction timelines, it never stops. And in between these workforce reductions you hope to get a raise but it never comes. DXC is a horrible company for motivating and cultivating talent. Get out, is my advice otherwise you will regret it. Good luck.
@17k excellent point. The money you make with redundancy will not be worth the impact on your health plus the fact that you can make more money elsewhere and actually have growth. This is a sinking ship no matter what they say and how many times they restructure and rebrand. Management are the same incompetent rats
Realise your mistake and get out. Ask yourself - can I face another 3 years of this? All past experience suggests it gets worse. People hang on in the hope of a redundancy. The company will destroy your mental health long before you get one.
@15b HRs policy is to ignore all requests. They will go away, the staff will give up. They might stay, they might go it's all irrelevant.
@OP If you’re in hands-on delivery or operations, move on as soon as you can. If you’re in BizOps, HR, Talent Acquisition, Sales, Account Management, Marketing or People Management in general, stay put and make the most of the comfort and steady pay those low accountability roles offer. In those roles, you can get through most days just by updating a few cells in an Excel sheet.
It's madness. They throw money at strangers based on AI-filtered CVs and brief interviews, yet let proven staff walk or watch them pull back. If you want real growth, invest in the people who already deliver. Unrewarded staff won’t mentor the next generation.
@zw as someone who has hired their fair share here, the amount of money thrown at new people that are currently being brought in as long as they are current or past Accenture will surprise you. Mind you this is all while not being allowed to give current employees raises. It's not about due diligence it's about the promises HR make to please whoever is in charge at the time. This is a sad lesson many people and our clients will continue to learn.
Someone didn't do their due diligence...
@ca this is the most accurate response I have ever seen on this site. Spot on!
If you join DXC you'll be offered a premium salary. It sounds great until you realise your earn way more than people who've been here years. You won't be shown anything, or helped to get on. After all you earn more. You should know it already. You'll probably never be given all the access you need. Everyone will resent you. The assumption is you'll be gone soon enough - most are.
The execs can't deliver, to deflect attention they bring in 3rd raters like Danny G,Camhere, and others to prolong the agony whilst they milk it.
Then they announce the yearly cuts emails around pay rise time to deflect attention. Travel Freeze, Holiday usage, back to the office, cut this and that.
All because the Execs are useless and not good enough to grow DXC. They need to stand down. They should get their raises at the same time as folks.
Welcome to the Ranch where only the execs get richer by the day
