Q&A With CSC Employees
We’re in the thick of it: a changing business landscape, a changing company, a changing world. Yet we are motivated to learn and succeed together—to build our own future and just get it done. That’s why we’re creating a workplace where self-starters have the permission and ability to run toward challenges.
How employees describe working at CSC
I love it here at CSC
I have never dealt with a more poorly run and incompetent organization. They put you on perpetual hold, and NEVER answer their calls for customer service. They have all my information wrong in their system, and have tried for weeks to contact anyone. HORRIBLE, company! Not sure how they stay in biz.
Poor. Disheartened. I have no reason to look forward to a day at work.

Communication. Managing workload. Training new staff. Incentives.
A rebuilding of the expertise by more than empty certifications

If you mean, the Product Leadership at the new DXC, they are a bit clueless having come from HPE ES. As such they are still dazed and confused as DXC is a new company and not the old HPE. Fearing they might now figure it enough before Mike Lawrie figures it out for them.
