DXC Technology's hiring loop is dominated by the huge Indian campus / off-campus pipeline that feeds its Associate Professional role: a long AMCAT/SHL online assessment (aptitude, English, essay writing, computer fundamentals, and an Automata Fix debugging section) followed by a combined technical-plus-HR conversation that leans on OOP, DBMS/SQL, projects and Java/Python fundamentals rather than hard DSA or system design. Experienced hiring, especially in the Philippines shared-services hub and MENA, is much lighter on coding: candidates go through an HR/recruiter screen and one or two panel interviews (often with the delivery manager, tech lead and sometimes 4-5 security or SAP managers on one call) that stress-test domain depth and stakeholder communication instead of algorithms.
These 17 writeups cover software engineering, infrastructure engineering, service desk and other roles, India campus + PH shared services. All of them were posted under a forum handle, so we could not verify the authors’ identities.
