Who did you meet with during your interview? And how long did it take to hear back from DXC Technology?
Everything is automated. So you won't talk to many people except during the actual interview. It's very impersonal.
They did the interview by Lync Then it did take 31 days for them to get back to me
It took weeks to hear from them.

rotten
If it's a problem it will go away if you ignore it
Generally pretty low.
How's the feedback proccess at DXC Technology?
they force a review process on you which means nothing as there is no incentive for raises. The US was to make bonus last year until Lawrie (CEO) adjusted goals to prevent that from happening.
What feedback process If it's a problem hush it down
we're supposed to do reviews twice a year. most people don't bother. There's no point. if you do well, you won't get a raise or bonus. there's no incentive.

CEO may be one of the most unethical humans on the planet. Allegedly sleeping with Pres. of HR. The best thing he could go is leave and let the company off of the life support he put us on with his greed
Management can only think of workforce reduction
the CEO is universally hated.

How can you be challenged when you are not even allowed the cost for a certificate And if you're pc is older than 5-6 year you might get a new one

How can I improve my chances of being hired at DXC Technology?
Chances are low, as they keep cancelling previously approved requisitions. For me as a manager very difficult. In our country it can take months to find the right candidate, once found the Req is closed because it is too old.
Get work any other place Dxc will have workforce optimisation of 40%
If you have a heartbeat they will hire you. No one wants to work here.

Poor. My Dentist even told me they hate dealing with some of the provider options. I ended up paying for the one they liked the best. DXC doesn't provide good benefits anymore.
What is the PTO policy at DXC Technology?
Pretty awful.
What is PTO?
They still have minimal holidays. They still accrue sick time that has no value at separation. Vacation doesn't exist. They tell you to take all the time you need, but trust me, managers will use time off to pair you against your peers for performance ratings. It doesn't really matter for merit, since there is none, but when you get a lower rating, you'll be cut first with the WFR/RIF comes. You'll know/feel this as an employee, and the company knows this too. They want that fear.. so you'll take less vacation. Plus, when you separate, DXC has no vacation to pay you, thus saving the company more money. Other companies abandoned this practice many years ago..

Some of the tech divisions are working on some really great innovations. DXC is made up of a lot of divisions that work on a variety of projects across a multitude of industries. There is not cohesive "what it's like at DXC" - it's all dependent on which division, which location, which project, etc. In my office, we're in the middle of trying to update policies and procedures, and there is a slight glimmer of hope that we can move our office into this century.
