I thought it was impossible for that to happen but dxc is the first company where I am actually feeling bored. I thought this was a little more dynamic company before I came here.
I am planning to leave but I wonder if others also think this is one of the most boring places to work?
Yes Boring with almost no tasks to do. When I started 12+ years ago I worked 70 - 80+ hour weeks and now I put in my 40 (only doing maybe 2 -3 hours, of real work). Don't say I am cheating the company because I was told by management that 40 hours is needed on the timesheet weekly
DXC innovation is indirectly provided from its core service providers like AWS, SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and Citrix. DXC have become almost a reseller of services, lacking the skills and clout to go to market direct. Although it still maintain a portfolio of its own banking and insurance software. These days, its 'innovator' awards tend to be provided via the mutual admiration society of partners it courts as a thank you for shifting product for them.
DXC's new clients reneged on their long-term plans. They stopped investing in DXC large-scale projects a few years back when they felt that trying to engage with DXC people actually doing the work meant they had to pierce through a fog of hapless layers of management to get something done. They saw DXC struggle with its own problems, staff reductions (affecting their existing projects) and cautiously decided to manage their risk and not push ahead with large projects. This cost DXC $2B over the past few years. Clients I know view DXC as merely a utilities company now, keeping the lights on for them. So, yes boring stuff.
DXC has managed to reduce a significant portion of its debt in the past year, but with a stock price decline continuing since August 2021 coupled with low growth and a sustained revenue decline of 11% yr-on-yr since DXC began, it is unlikely that its clients will be ready to accept this risk of uncertainty knowing that further DXC 'restructuring' could have an impact on long-term project integrations or any new services above the core offerings.
Don't confuse being bored with a lack of work.
The work here is boring, there is lots of it, but it just boring.
There isn't any innovation within any of our customers projects. Our innovation lab has failed to change the opinion with all our clients. "DXC just keep the servers running, if I want ideas I will ask someone/anyone else"
I've never thought of DXC as dynamic, it micro-manages decisions from the top, lacks integrated processes, tools and fails to integrate new companies properly and uses an antiquated matrix and 'people manager' model that many on both sides don't see the point in. It has spent so long focused on getting rid of skills, innovators and any potential leaders that the shell of what is now left behind can't ever be thought of as dynamic.
I would agree, when you leave, you do learn a lot about all the latest digital offerings out there. Some of the off the shelf and built in services now makes you question why would anyone need to pay someone to develop something from scratch when so much can be configured and tailored. It took me 2 years to get up to speed with tech, once I left DXC and all those same old offerings they'd be flogging for years, that never worked.
I already have quitted ! I'm experiencing really digital fields with the latest technology.
Hey guys, Why don't you leave DXC ?
I think so. Actually DXC doesn't have high technology and that's delivery without Luxoft. In particular EMEA, Japan, Korea and nearby Asian countries are no longer doing for DX. It's no more strategist as well.
I wish I had time to be bored.
More work than I can possibly achieve in a day/week.
