Pros

- good place to start career if you are not looking for long term employment - software development processes are most of all ok. May vary in different projects - some smart and professional colleagues. May vary in different projects

Cons

- the only way to get salary rise is to get offer from another company. Be prepared to be cheated when it goes to salary questions. E.g. Luxoft propose nice relocation package but at the same time your salary will be converted to local currency by exchange rate that is not even close to market rate that was two years ago. - company doesn't care about its employees at all, it treats you as resource. If project was finished you will be kicked out immediatelly or transferred to other project with salary loss around 10-20% - last two years company cuts hard all the benefits for employees as it is acquiring other companies, but in the same time employees don't profit at all from these moves, because company doesn't give any discounts for employees for buying company shares.

Pros

- Nice and respectful culture - The company trusts its employees, no need for a lot bureaucracy when taking days off or sick leave - If you are good, they are going to do anything in their power to keep you

Cons

- Parent DXC company is very strict and outdated, Luxoft systems are very good, but sometimes we need to use DXC systems that are mostly sharepoint and awfully designed Service Now. - After DXC took control, everything is Windows, you are lucky if you get a Mac system, and they hate Linux. You need to sell your soul and get many management and client approvals and exceptions in IT to be able to use Linux. - If is a huge company that serves many clients, so obviously, you are going to have totally different experiences depending on the client you work for
