dxc pays their graduates fk all...business graduates working in software engineering roles...then software engineering graduates working in business roles...no one knows what the fk is going on...absolute disaster, no one gets a role based on their degree, you're just placed wherever the managers tell you to go, no thought behind the process at all, no wonder all the managers dislike the graduate scheme

@sz+1jns4t81v loved those pool tables, even lost my virginity with a good un against those during a late night callout
@sz+1jns4t81v Your probably best to get out sooner than later. Tell your next employer, it's not what you thought, the company culture is dire, they aren't giving you useful or rewarding work to do, and just wasting your skillset. When you say this in 2 years, they'll ask why you stayed and what you've achieved.
@f2+1jns4t81v I was promised I'd get something for agreeing to work a weekend. The moment it was done, they'd forgotten all that. Not even a thank you. Management changed nobody knows anything about it now. Didn't get me a pay rise either. Won't be helping again!!
@dq+1jns4t81v The days of anyone giving DXC time have gone. No I will not be doing that at the weekend and then have to fill in endless paperwork justifying the need. You want the work doing. It's now strictly a 9.30 till 4pm job as far as I'm concerned.
It's only like the apprentice scheme... employ a bunch of college and school years on £14k a year with a bump to £18k by year's end (although there were some they didnt honour this) and dump them into roles to replace staff shortages. Promise they'll get training and have them sit in areas waiting for access to tools then punish them for not really knowing what to do and having no direction.
Use them to backfill redundancy so some of your veteran staff will come to resent them and treat them as an annoyance at best and with mild contempt at worst, so any time they complain eg not getting a travel expense covered they can be berated for not having put up with it as long as some of the oldies have.
Eventually they can be shoved into senior roles on the same apprentice wage so you'll have people acting as MIM, SDM, Senior Wintel and Desktop engineers but being paid fckn peanuts. Just offer them on call and they'll work 50 to 70hrs a week every week just for the opportunity to make some extra funds.... until they either have a stroke or realise that the grass is greener elsewhere.

Unfulfilled obligations in New Orleans. Taking brand logos off of the building and just a plain high-rise building with few a few lights still on.
But if you were to believe the posts on Workplace (last year) and Engage this year, the graduate program is a glorious success, everyone is happy and engaged.
I'm shocked to hear otherwise. I thought it was just a funny coincidence all the good graduates leave after 2 years when they discover DXC has lied to them about what happens afterwards.
