Pros

As long as you are employed, you get good benefits. You have access to Chapters (a generalized learning and sharing concept, where you pick a Chapter like C++ development and you have access to resources, presentations and live sessions related to said Chapter). A good work culture is established in general, including diversity training.

Cons

Job matching was relatively bad. My first (and only!) project I was put on a project with relatively bad code, and I was expected to learn and figure it out quickly. Once benched because I couldn't cut it in the project anymore, I have had exactly zero matches and interviews for 4+ months, before I was made redundant. This was more a lesson for myself (I need to ask early on how good or bad is the code organized, as well as the volume, on each project)

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- Parent DXC company is very strict and outdated, Luxoft systems are very good, but sometimes we need to use DXC systems that are mostly sharepoint and awfully designed Service Now.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
