Pros

You get paid when everyone else denies employing you. I can't think of anything else. Can't even say friendly people - most are gone.

Cons

Not a company for developers, neither for security experts, business analysts, BI experts, project managers (these people almost don't exist in the company in Luxembourg). Absent culture of hiring people with excellent skills. Hires are mostly people with no/poor IT training (helpdesk / support level 1). Poor guidance of junior hires. They have no internal projects or IT teams, and seem unable to find any: this means that they have no way to actually coach junior people before sending them to clients. At best juniors might land in a client company where some colleagues already work - else they'll have to figure everything by themselves. Work time not flexible: per internal regulations, arrival in the morning between 0830 and 0900, departure in the afternoon between 1730 and 1800, and mandatory 1h pause for lunch between 1200 and 1400. Firing policy seems to be: anyone sitting for 2 months or more on the bench. Even if the company did (almost) nothing to find an assignment for the consultants. Since summer 2023: director is on sick leave. Somehow, this coincides with the change of name from Ausy to Randstad Digital and the communication of the new strategy to the management teams of the group. Between November 2023 and march 2024: the co-director left, the delivery manager left, both sales-people left, the whole hiring team left (3), the internal accountant left. Just the HR manager remains. They hired an Asian guy (who does not speak any of the 3 local languages) as the new strategic-sales-guy (in Luxembourg office...). This might indicate that they intend to sell crap, have it implemented in Indian offices and use the sales-guy to handle the communication between clients in Luxembourg and IT in India. The office in Luxembourg is now a small branch of Belgium with weak power to do anything autonomously or take any decision. Any management decision in the Luxembourg office is now taken by the Belgian office - people who have no experience or knowledge of the market in Luxembourg. The company continuously loses money since 2020 or 2021. People on the bench usually have to take their own laptop - it's not like the company would provide laptops to each consultant. Actually, even the desktops are old crap. Broken keyboards, screens with resolutions of another epoch... Once you have found a working keyboard, you store it away to ensure you'll have it the next day. It's so cheap that there isn't even a single coat hanger there. On rainy days, with your coat on your seat you're good to wet your shirt.

Pros

Cons overwhelmingly are more than pros

Cons

New contractors be wary: Document everything with your recruiter before receiving your onboarding package. Also, document every single interaction you have with them before and during your assignment. You will be asked to sign an overwhelming volume of documents (approximately 37 forms) in a very tight window. Make sure you meticulously review your contract terms, assignment lengths, and arbitration clauses the most critical one being that if anything goes wrong during your assignment, you waive your right to sue them in court. Always ensure you document everything and contact state or federal labor agencies immediately if overwhelming compliance issues occur. I highly recommend running the contract content and text through AI software to catch hidden clauses, and ensure every verbal promise made by a recruiter or supervisor is immediately confirmed by you in writing. The recruitment process felt incredibly predatory and non-transparent. In my experience, communication completely dropped off and I was met with total silence from agency staff once the assignment was underway. Always document every single interaction, address onboarding pressure immediately in writing, and do not hesitate to involve attorney general and state labor officials if you encounter compliance issues (such as discrimination, sick leave rights or dangerous conditions), especially during the assignment.
