EDS treated its employees with respect, always. The rot started with HP, HPE was then lauded as our saviour and that quickly went sour. And now the way these so called people treat employees is just the norm. Glad I’m out, and did my time when I did. As for the young they need to fight if they are going to save themselves.

As a former HP employee, we were treated very well. The perks were incredible, bonus and raises were given every year. HP made their mistake in purchasing EDS. HP executives handed over the service division to the EDS executives and they turned around and laid off all of the HP talent, leaving us with over-paid high school graduates AKA EDS employees. HP had to revamp the EDS pay scale because there were admins assistants making more than Account Executives.
EDS started laying off people in 1992 to please Wall Street. They never recovered, and had a succession of poor leaders. Not only that, where I worked there was much favoritism in promotions and pay raises.
EDS was failing in the 90s and never improved
Yep lackies to put positive spin on Glassdoor, to counter punch the negative press on here and also starting on UK register - nothing can save this company apart from reorganization from the top down, rebranding and selling + splitting up the company.
DXC are so desperate they are even employing BOTS (1aqg) to quell descent on on The Layoff.
I've only ever heard of EDS "back in the day" being a stuffy misogynistic stuck in its ways company that tried very hard to be IBM without the hardware.
I never worked there but people I have encountered over my career did and none of them had a good thing to say about it.
Experience may vary I guess.
Guys smell the coffee and move on. We are in the world of "digital transformation" and drumpf !
If yiu’re Out then move in. No one is interested in your 20-year-old “ back in my day” rsmbilngs.Sad.
Very true. EDS used to have trainees - always paid them and then as their skills improved gave them salary increases and new career opportunities. These days interns are lucky to be paid, and then will be lucky to see a pay raise as they are told that they can be replaced with an offshore worker at half the rate. Globalisation has brought some benefits but in countries where overseas labour can be brought in at low pay rates to work onshore, it keeps wages much lower than they were 10 or even 15 years ago.
