Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

ROCKET

I am presently looking for a job and was researching DCX.Technology. I use to work for CSC and now that they have merged with HPE I am having second thoughts....CSC was a great company but I am hearing nothing but bad review about to company now.

Can CSC change them around or will the new company get worst? ROCKET

First, take a spelling class. Second, I would crush my family jewels in a pneumatic compression vice before going back to DXC. Or DCX as you put it.

CSC was a great company??.........I’m confused Maybe before 2008, but not since then.

Overworked and under paid. No increases at all. Managers that don't know anything and follow the pro company line of Bull sh*t.

If you need a pay check, sure come to work here, but keep looking for something better. And as others said be prepared to be let go, cause they are send jobs off shore faster than you can say Mike Lawrie is a dip sh--

CSC actually was a good company before Mikey Scissorhands came around. DXC is now a dumpster fire.

Stay away from DXC unless you're desperate for work or looking for your first break in IT. Even then....do everything you can to stay away from the Titanic that is DXC.

HPES was a much bigger company than CSC and almost 3 times as much revenue (despite HPES revenue declines of 11 and 6% since 2013). So its more an HP company than a CSC one now - you just happen to have someone in charge with a track record of fattening the goose to sell it off, before the buyer realises they bought a dead duck.

The disregard for staff is due to the new Frankenfirm trying to get 50% of its staff into low-cost countries to make the company 'more effective' - it's what they call 'right-shoring'.

This long-awaited predicted growth of $25 billion (ha ha!) is supposed to eclipse all the losses that both companies suffered with those legacy outsourcing deals. Hey, that's still worth about $15B and its new predicted IT-DIgital-mobility-cloud-transforming-dev-ops-cloud-based-have-you-tried-amazon-AWS-or-MS-Azure-yet? service is to hit $8b. Although that was before the loss of some major contracts, senior leads and sales staff. Critical skills? Nah, they can be replaced with low cost labour and intelligent answering machines. What could possibly go wrong?

I do not have the feeling CSC is a great country. I am shocked to find out what is happing at work since we merged with CSC. People don't matter.

If you thought CSC was a great company before, be assured it's a "more greater" company now. As other have asked, how long ago did you work there? Pre 2000 was okay. Pre 2006 if you were in certain areas.

If you want to work for a body shop work for one that us straight up about it’s operating model and has lower overhead and less baggage.

This dumpster fire is mired in legal messes and angry clients.

CSC was a great company in the 90's till about 2006. But It continued losing money - like HP's Enterprise Services did.

Both ailing companies came together in the hope that pooling of clients and resources (or synergies) would help it to survive. Unlikely, as there isn't a good track record in the industry of companies that do this. But unfortunately, the top tier are just asset-stripping to the core, so they don't care. Anything to keep the share price going.

If you are old enough to remember the good CSC, then I am afraid the management principles of 'staff are our greatest asset' has long since become comical in its relentless staff redundancy programmes appearing almost quarterly. You are definitely not the young, low-cost demographic the company is hoping to hire, unless you are prepared for a short-term contract, but you would be working in an atmosphere of low morale - and no job is worth that.

DXC joins similar monolithic IT dinosaurs laying people off at the moment: CISCO, DELL, GE, IBM, MS, NetAPP, QualComm, Sears, Teradata, Thomson Reuters, Xerox, excetera, excetra.

In short no - definitely not a company to work for at least not whilst this lunatic is in charge.

You must have worked at CSC a few years ago, pre-Mikey. Do not touch with a barge pole would be my recommendation, if you want a career and job satisfaction.
