Pros

On time and salary paid during probation. Visa and cab reimbursements.

Cons

What not to say. You are hiring people all the way from abroad. When you do, you need to make sure that they get project with their matching skills. Before recruitment itself, you need to have a proper understanding of what client wants. based on that hiring should happen. Now, they hired people like anything, and made them to be on bench and asking them to give interviews again. Most of the time, a candidate profile or CV doesnt get selected during PM review itself. I myself got only two interviews scheduled in 3 months , out of them one was cleared but that entire project went on hold. The other one, client expecting to have secondary skills which i clearly mentioned in my CV. Most of the clients are banking projects. Even though they say they are using latest tech stacks, but when it comes to actual project you will realize what a legacy tech stack they are using. Most of us came from other country to poland by investing a lot of money and emotional investment. On top of it, because of three months probation, we couldnt find the proper rental accommodation as most of us are staying in either hotels or airbnb;s. This again costed extra money. You will get permanent only after three months probation if you have project. They are ruining careers of candidates who aspired to have a dreams and growth in poland. During hiring a person is selected based on their skills, the same CV would be presented to clients. But, they are rejecting. After that, HRs are coming back to candidates and asking candidates to learn different technologies. How come? One of the weird client requirement which i faced is a candidate has to know "Java,.net,python, cucumber, Azure." Moreover, Do not trust high rating of luxoft in glassdoor. These days anything can be manipulated.

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- Parent DXC company is very strict and outdated, Luxoft systems are very good, but sometimes we need to use DXC systems that are mostly sharepoint and awfully designed Service Now.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