For me it was good, but it heavily depends on a project you are in - Senior Software Developer Luxoft Employee Review

Pros

Medical insurance for you and your family, really nice office.

Cons

First of all, Luxoft is an outsourcing company. You can be out of luck if you get into bad project (there is a bunch of them). Many people were dissatisfied and leaved the company. However, I was lucky and pretty happy with my project, the team was good and a customer was adequate (this is not always the case). However, it was a long-lasting maintenance project and most of the tasks were boring. I can remember only one big feature implemented from scratch. If you are a creative person loving innovations such a project is not for you. Another thing: if a new project is initiated, Luxoft hires dozens of people at once. If a customer decides to cancel it later on (there were precedents), you are in trouble. You can move between projects, however, and Luxoft tries to keep people rather than push them out (there is such a thing as "bench" where you can spend up to 2 months being fully paid and Luxoft looks for a new project for you during this time. When this time expires, you get fired). From my experience, most of people managed to find another project. Luxoft can promote and does it often, but only if a person is nothing or is doing nothing. If you are good in writing code, you will never be promoted - if you start managing, who is going to make your complex job? That's why "monkey-testers", for instance, get promoted very often (their skills are very, very low as the name implies). Recap: Luxoft can be good or bad, it heavily depends on the concrete project. I believe it applies to many other companies as well. Don't expect to be promoted if you are a coder.

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- Parent DXC company is very strict and outdated, Luxoft systems are very good, but sometimes we need to use DXC systems that are mostly sharepoint and awfully designed Service Now.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