Can anyone state anything just anything positive about DXC. Seems like all I read is negative after negative and deplorable news and working conditions. Give some hope to current DXC employees. DXC employees are terrified to say anything on this board. They might be tracked, traced or followed. Only ex DXC, HPE, EDS employees typically speak the truth.

Terms like "pure play services" "digital transformation" "digital workforce" etc are examples of wank word bingo. Play that game when Lorry speaks!
@R1qpya4-hnq You need to get a life! Are you a ML stooge?
Ok bright boy. You said DXC trying to be competitive against Indian services companies, Well they can't be because of the nepotism, greed, good ole boy network, and clowns in upper and middle management who do absolutely nothing. I wish i could name names but we can't in this forum. Get a clue MICHIGAN sites should be closed down. Is that a good start. So much cronyism and bs with the folks there. People are crying out in the lower ranks but this arrogant management is just that clueless. It's a slow painful death to DXC as a company today. It's frustrating but its like being in a bad marriage for financial or child reasons or having a disease that is chronic and painful. Just no real fix here except to leave or have this company go under.
ok, at present it's like any other services company, though DXC talks about "pure play services" "digital transformation" "digital workforce" etc. it's trying to be competitive against Indian services company, who are eating it's lunch. That means more work shifting to India, squeezing maximum out of the employees, employment tied to billability and contracts. From financial point of view, it's like any other wall-street company going for share holder value and giving exec bonuses. Despite all the negatives here, it's like 90% of the companies out there, but as they say - grass is greener on the other side.
Most positive experience during my last months at DXC was the ability to work from home every single day without a word being said to me about absences. They simply did not care, and if they did no one cared enough to say anything. Truly a joke of a company.
This might be interesting to you all, might not of course, but anyway...
From this article the other day about IBM (and their failures):
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/22/ibm_bernstein_analysis/
"The second option – or sliding-door alternative – was all about "cash maximisation", Bernstein added.
"IBM could have embraced the decline of its core businesses, and doubled down on cash maximisation, a la DXC or Micro Focus. For this to work, IBM would have likely needed to explicitly acknowledge/target a low signal decline in revenues and focus on increasing cash generation and return on investment, much like LBO (leveraged buy-out) companies do post-acquisition."
This would have resulted in deeper and more aggressive cost-cutting, including "harvesting high margin, declining businesses, culling R&D on IBM's glamorous but still unrealised projects, and performing strict ROI analysis on incremental investments".
Of course, the upshot of this would mean IBM was left trying to drive margin uplift and better cash flow, "despite modest declines in revenues".
So there you go, that's a wall street analyst describing what is going on here.
That my friends is why we have the bonfire of souls.
mikey got a bigger a-- to fit all the ill gotten money. that's one
We need new CEO and leadership to fix all the issues in DXC. I feel shame to work with this company and I proudly left this company and join the competitor.

As an ex DXC employee who left some 4 months ago, I visit this site regularly to check on news, views, and topical opinion. I worked for CSC before it transmogrified into the shameful company called DXC, but can assure you the rot had already set in years beforehand.
When Mike Lawrie took the helm from the disgraced Michael Laphen in 2012, we thought things would turn around for the better. How wrong we were. Any thoughts that the company would be restructured for the mutual benefit of employees, as much as management and stockholders, soon went out of the window. The honeymoon period was short lived indeed.
The rounds of work force reduction soon started, justified against strategic restructuring decisions, which mostly entailed moving work to lower cost regions, irrespective of the level of expertise being discarded along the way, be that technical or commercial.
Nothing changed when DXC came to pass, except the same process repeated at an accelerated rate, but this time with a stated objective of delivering massive returns to stockholders. To quote Mike Lawrie from the DXC FY18 Q2 Press Release Nov 2017 https://assets1.dxc.technology/newsroom/downloads/DXC_FY18_Q2_Press_Release.pdf
"We are executing on our integration plans and are on track to deliver $1 billion of year one cost savings as well as $1.5 billion of run-rate cost savings exiting fiscal 2018.
So behind the euphemisms of DXC being a 'pure play' company on a 'digital transformation' journey, along with any other number of fatuous buzzwords, we now have a company which really doesn't care about it's employees, but rather just about profit. Former HPE employees might see a parallel history in their company's demise.
Mike Lawrie 'the dictator' has no scruples or moral compass whatsoever. He and his entourage of sycophantic minions are clearly on a mission to line their own pockets.
I'm glad I'm out, and would advise any DXC employee reading this to carefully consider if they believe their career will truly prosper in DXC.
DXC is controlled by a very small number of greedy, corrupt leaders, (less than 3 people). They are only concerned with lining their own pockets and keeping the truth from the outside world. When the truth gets out the share price will plummet. I suspect there may also be an SEC investigation (if its not going on already).
Still nothing positive said yet. Egads this is a sad situation. DXC stock price will trickle down. Stock price is NOT an indicator of company success. DXC still nothing positive stated. Frogman was right on. Nothing positive yet. Still waiting?
1) agreed
2) training? Did you drink too much over Xmas?
3) wrong, we are all f---ed and mentally drained constantly looking over our shoulders. Do what we can do and go home.
4) remote working has been scrapped, everyone is being forced into the office. Co-location is the way forward
5) bonus for Lawrie and his cronies. Pay rises are adhoc and need to be reviewed by Lawrie himself. Our UK union newsletter explicitly states that. Company policy.
Ok - some positive comments:
-
The stock price continues to rise.
-
For many (if not all) - good training materials.
-
Often - Good colleagues to work with - "We're all in this together".
-
For many - good remote / work from home opportunities which gives experience in or builds upon communications and telecommuting.
-
Limited (if not non-existent), increases and bonuses fosters creativity in household financial planning and budgeting.
========Oops, negativity starting to creep in - I better stop==============
Happy New Year, everyone.
I am a current employee and I do have lots of complaints, however I am channeling that energy towards jumping ship when the right opportunity arrives(which it will in 2018 hopefully). DXC is a dead duck from my prospective, and for most of my colleagues for that matter.
If you are straight out of college it’s a good place to come get experience quickly......then move on to a better company. Use the opportunity to your advantage, common sense really. Just be cognizant that high working standards and loyalty mean nothing when Madame Guillotine is wheeled out
I am a currrent employee and I have no complaints at all!!
