Pros

Remote work flexibility ∙ Interesting projects with global clients

Cons

They need to cut headcount. They don’t want to pay severance. So they fabricate. What to expect: ∙ Approved days off reclassified as “unauthorized absence” months later. Without telling you. ∙ Documents you submitted listed as “not submitted.” ∙ Policies cited in warnings that don’t match the actual facts. They don’t read their own rules. ∙ Weeks of complete isolation. No tasks. No meetings. No communication. Just silence. ∙ You do the work of multiple people. Zero client complaints. Then you’re the problem. How it works: They build a paper trail. Hope you panic and quit. Or sign something. If you don’t - they assume you won’t check the details. Check the details. Document everything. Their own paperwork may prove they’re lying. It’s not personal. It’s budget. But you pay the price.

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- Parent DXC company is very strict and outdated, Luxoft systems are very good, but sometimes we need to use DXC systems that are mostly sharepoint and awfully designed Service Now.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