I've been with DXC just under 2 years and moving on. Played DXC how they like it, got a big jump to come, then no raises for 1 year+. Took me a good few months to setup and get upto speed, and I'm off now. My recommendation is you leave as I have realized you will get nothing from staying here, they don't value loyal people. You only get raises if you've done sales or your grossly underpaid, otherwise you get nothing and I'm not taking that.

I thought everyone just used DXC as a foot in the door of their customers?
As an employee for 13+ years at DXC and 50 years total in IT, I don’t believe in inflation rises If you meet or exceed your goals you should get a pay increase of 5% or greater.
If you don’t meet or exceed some goals you shouldn’t get a pay increases, simple as that.
Now if DXC really cared about their employees that meet or meet and exceeds some goals then they would get a decent pay increase each year that they do. If the company can’t afford it, then the Board, Executives should forgo their bonuses and take a pay cut as well.
I dont think its normal for people not to get even inflation raises for years, whilst the Execs keep taking big money saying the company isnt performing well enough to give normal employees thier raises.
If the Execs can achieve thier targets they should be the first to reduce the extravagant pay levels.
DXC isnt a normal run company.
This is common in corporations.... As some youtube coach said the only time you can get really big salary increase is when you are interviewing for new job at different company that have no idea of your current salary. If you already working than it's really hard to get pay rise, inflation is constantly eating your purchasing power and company will force you to take "additional responsibilities" to justify that pay rise. The better result is that you have same purchasing power as before but with more responsibilities. But if you switch job and if your job is in demand the company simply must offer competitive pay and with reasonable responsibilities because no one will apply for job that have job description of 2 or 3 positions combined or even entire department. It is common that you are earning more money that your "senior" mentor that is teaching you about the project that you will be working on. So the lesson of the day is switch jobs ideally every 2-3 years for the minimum of 10% raise. I managed to get 40% pay rise with every jobswitch.
They don't even care if you're underpaid. Company policy is 0%. I have no idea why they waste management time on appraisals and reviews. There might actually be some money for pay rises if they didn't waste it, or the execs could keep it is probably more likely.
"they don't value loyal people."
Glad you have worked it out. They actually sh-t on loyal employees. How can you survive year after year without inflation rises. They will keep doing this external recruitment cycle on higher pay, must be costing millions in costs and time.
Goid luck and well done to you.
