I don't know why some of you keep expecting to see things improve. That's not happening. That's like standing on a Titanic that is already halfway submerged and thinking, "it's okay, we'll start to surface any time now." It's not happening. Leave now and join a company that cares about the future. Leave this dinosaur behind.

I can’t think of a single innovation in DXC compared to what’s going on in the IT world right now. Most of what I see at DXC is based on old virtualisation models and the white papers they purchased in 2018 were half started by teams in 2029 who were then cut during the discovery phase. I remember they tried to get cyber offering off the ground using a consultancy who did their bit to ‘help’ but realised dxc didn’t have the skills to execute on it and they went to market with a Ill thought out mess without capability or capacity. It was if the one of the hydra’s head was focussed on developing new offerings while the other hydra’s head was busy cutting the very same resource it needed at the same time. I recall thinking at the time how indicative this was of a company not joined up or could be said to be all slighted on the same strategic vision. I felt they ended up patching together old ideas and trying to flog them to the market as new ideas, leaving them some 5 years behind and allowing others to eat up that market space, The only thing DXC has is scale, but don’t know how to use it properly and can’t seem to stabilise or motivate its workforce. Clearly, shouting at them didn’t work. What’s next?
The IT market is desperate for skills out there. You'd be mad to stay at DXC.
I think Dixie is good or bad depending manager by manager account by account, I don't know why they hire College interns that don't do anything and have supervisors to manage the college interns that don't do anything, do they get tax breaks for this? There was never any opportunity for me I don't know if that was my manager's fault or dxc fault I tried to switch groups many times without any luck, without your manager helping you or I think I was blacklisted I didn't have any opportunity, personally it seems the folks from the UK have a better off than we do in usa, but it's hard for me to tell, seems that tibco developers in Czechoslovakia have a pretty good life
If your young and have marketable skills yes Jump ship ASAP.
If your skills aren't as marketable then take all the FREE classes , Azure, AWS , Storage etc then jump ship.
If your older closer to retirement and can afford it, then stay and only do the bare minimum to keep getting paid, put money into your 401K's (US) and the ether take severance or submit retirement whichever gets you the most money and live the good life.
That is exactly what I am on the process of doing!
