Luxoft UK: not exactly a company
Pros
1. Tier 2 visa sponsorship 2. Relocation fee 3. Medical insurance 3. Relative job security due thanks to lots of projects in various companies
Cons
1. It's not an employer as such, it's just an intermediary that halves your rate in exchange for sponsoring your Tier 2 visa. Essentially you belong to the company that Luxoft has sold you to. 2. Every time you need a paper from your company it turns out you have a new manager, 1000 miles from you who don't know who you are and doesn't really want to know. HR department in UK is nothing but a disgrace even for an ex-Soviet company. 3. Forget about carrier, salary review etc. It's much cheaper for them to relocate another guy from Eastern Europe than to listen to your whimpers. 4. Job security is very relative because when it rains it pours on the job market. Overall, there is not much sense to stay with Luxoft if you are already in UK.
